These shoes fit a bit wide, and have a large toe box. I have to cinch them in quite a bit, but they still fell very comfy. I've used them in some gnarly wet trail running over the last year, and they still have some life in them. Most of the black lines that cross this way and that on the side of the shoe are meant only for aesthetic appeal, and have mostly cracked and rubbed off, and it doesn't make the shoes look so pretty any more.
