"I love the look of the shoes and that they are a bit higher around the ankle. I purchased for a group kick-boxing class and was so excited to try them but...they do not fit. I read another review that these shoes ran short but since I normally order a half size up in training shoes, I thought they would be fine. They are not, sadly my toes are hitting the end of the shoe and I have to return them. I have two other pairs of Ryka and they are both true to size. Order a half size up in this model!!"
