These shoes were exactly as I expected - I had previously bought them from a traditional shoe store, but they no longer carried the model anymore when it was time to buy new ones. The fit is typical for me for
athletic shoes, I’m 1/2 size larger in
running shoes than my
dress shoe sizes. The toe box area is nice and wide without being so roomy that I move around too much and get blisters. Medium
arch support, could use an insert if you need more. Very comfortable, no break in period at all for these. Typical life of this shoe is about 6 months for me. I use them for power walking and average about 20 miles/week.
