I love these shoes! I am a neutral runner with an average width foot. There is plenty of wiggle room in these shoes for you toes. You will need to order half a size up, all Pearl Izumi shoes including my cycling shoes run small. I did purchase a memory cushion sport insert with very little arch support for a little added cushioning. I am 42 with great knees(that I want to keep that way) and the shoe really needed a little more cushioning for my taste. Overall great product, ran 4 miles right out of the box with no problems.

I love these shoes. I have relatively flat, wide feet, and spent most of my fitness life in Saucony running shoes. However, after trying these out at a local running store, I decided to give the Izumis a try. I absolutely love them! Love the colors, love the style! Since I have flat feet, I am definitely sensitive to arch support, and while not as supportive as my previous running shoes, these shoes definitely give me a little boost of support. My normal size is a 9, but after trying them on at the running store, I would definitely recommend sizing up 1/2 size. If you do have wide feet, you can definitely feel a little tightness around the sides of the foot, but that's normal for any normal width shoe--that's the only reason I'm only giving comfort 4 stars! Very breathable, stylish, and overall, a great deal.

These are awesome shoes that are very comfortable in bold colors. Do order half a size up. Out of the box I ran four miles with no issues.

I used to run in Pearl Izumi Cruise but they were discontinued a while ago and I've struggled to find the right pair for me since. I have wide feet, moderate arch and a neutral stride. My toes LOVE these. The seamless upper means nothing's rubbing on the inside or outside of my toes. The upper material is flexible, so it moves with your foot. The cushioning is perfect for me. I don't like to sink into a shoe. They are a little flashy for me, but I think that's the trend right now. I don't really care for the style but I have also never chosen a running shoe based on design, so that won't affect my overall rating. I am currently training for a marathon and and really glad I found these now. They recommend you order a half size up...and many runners already wear a half size up in running shoes. If you are one of those people, yes, you will need to order a whole size up. I'm an 8.5 street shoe, 9 is most running shoes and I need a 9.5 in these.

Trendy shoe. Great color combination. Realized too late that I should have ordered a half size up. I'm a 9.5 and my toe pokes up at the top. i'd rate these 5 stars had I ordered the right size for me.
