Sizing Problems

By Ryan Oakey June 25, 2012

I have a fairly wide toe box and high arches. I went a half size down from my street shoe and am having problems. Because it is synthetic there is very little stretch. It is so tight in the toe box I can barely stand it and it still has a baggy heel. It seems to me that those with a wide toe box should find another shoe. Those with a narrow toe box going a half size down should be sufficient.
The rubber is good but it's definitely not as good as 5.10 rubber. The show is very durable and well constructed. Very easy to put on and take off. It performs much better outdoors than in a gym.
