I bought these shoes to start running because they got a good review for cushioning. When they arrived I found the shoe to be of good quality. But, the size was too tight. I wore a 10.5 US for over 30 yrs. Then I had to start wearing a size 11 US 2 yrs ago. But, when I tried these on they were too small. I returned them and ordered a size 11.5 US because I really like the shoe.
