"I am a true size 9, but needed a size 9.5, liked the comfortable feel, but after wearing it around the house to break them in, I found them too cushioning to wear as my running shoes. I also ended up with a blister on the back of my ankle from the heal cushion being so giving, so I returned them. They may be an ok shoe for heal runners who need lots of cushion, or good for walking. Hope this helps."
