Great shoe, I love the support and cushion. The shoe is light and not stiff. The size seems just a bit smaller than an Asics running shoe in the ball/foot area (narrower) & in the length(shorter). I have wide short feet. It still fits comfortably in both directions. I wanted a shoe that would help with my ankle pain and this one works. It does not bind the back of the ankle, but offers a flexible support in the cutout area. I have broken my ankle & heel area so its makes it painful to run as I get older. This shoe has really helped. I have used New Balance and Asics shoes in the past and have noticed a bit of size difference compared to the Saucony. The Asics 7-1/2 shoe was too small for me (short & width) so I wore the 8. It was just a tad long but the right width. This Saucony trail shoe falls in between the two sizes.
