The first mistake was to read the other reviews which stated the shoes run small, and to get them a size bigger. Doe's this mean a full size or a half size? My shoes are a true size. The statement about the width is correct, they are thin, but these are running shoes and most runners are fit, and don't have wide feet. My first pair of Puma's were in 1976 when my dad was stationed at then West Germany, during the Cold War. Loved them then love them now.
