internet says they run big. i got an 8 and its perfect (i mostly wear 8.5s, have a couple nike frees and theyre 9s).
i mostly use these for gym activities and a little running. i like them slightly better than anything ive worn b4 but dont love em.
pros:
-theyre light but not tooo light. weight is really good, mb just placebo effect but makes me feel like im not cheating myself when doing pullups and plyo stuff.
-the heel is fairly stiff but has just enough give (was using vans previously which is not as firm, side note is that im really sick of hearing chuck taylors etc. described as having 'a really firm sole w no give' lol)
-i have a slightly wider than average foot, maybe about average. shoe fits very very well in all dimensions but has a very low profile so orthotic type insoles would be impossible (ur heel would be slipping out the back).
cons:
-they arent v supportive laterally. i wouldnt be very comfortable playing bball in these (and i always wear low-top 'running shoes')
-the toe box is 'crinkly'. doesnt have much stuctural integrity, dont like the material they used. not a performance thing, just aesthetically the toe is not a very sweet sihouette. look kinda cheap.
