My foot is use to Brooks which I think are a little narrower in the toe box, so I got blisters - my toes weren't use to moving around.  Also has hotspots for me, will not buy these again, but got a good price - they will work until time to buy new pair.  Of course everyone's feet are different so could work perfect for you!  I usually were an 8 women's in regular shoes and also need to go up to 81/2 in running shoes - same for these.  The color is bright but pretty cool and the cars and people do see you.
