I purchased these shoes in an 8.5 for HITT classes. I typically wear Nanos (8.5) and Metcons (9). For me these are such a better match. I frequently suffer from painful calf and toe camps after (sometimes durning) super jumpy workouts and so far these have been a welcomed addition to my routine.
Also, for lifting I feel incredibly stable. My ankle stability is a space I’m always working on and these help me dig into the floor more.
I have a longer second toe so the 8.5 was a little snug on it at first. In these I seem to fit in between the 8.5 and 9.
