That one star reviewers don't seem to actually read reviews...or some of them anyways?  Most people going through these reviews have discovered that the are at least a half size small.  And they are.  But is that a reason for 1 star?  Really?  Anybody who buys shoes at roadrunnersportsdotcom will know that they ALWAYS recommend a half size larger for most shoes.  So, I was not surprised and order the 12 4e instead of 11.5.  And they fit well.  I love the generous toe box on these shoes.  The support and motion control are pretty good too.  All in all the price for these shoes on Amazon is lower than elsewhere...I do know they were recently on sale for low low low, but now the price is back where it was...$10 and more higher most other places.  I have paid substantially more and it is always a drag when you discover that your price shoes are in need of replacing, so I was very pleasantly surprised with how well these performed at the current price point. I tried another pair that were even less, but they had no support, so I will use them for indoor biking, etc.  I know each manufacturer has their fans and I am an NB fan for sure.  I still don't get the 1 star thing though...people just being people I imagine.
