Bought these for my son who runs the 200m on his high school running team. He likes the color of the shoes and said the shoes are comfortable. I bought half a size larger than his normal size to ensure he has socks and a comfortable fit and he has room in the toe of his shoes so I think his normal shoe size would be fine. Today he has an athletics competition and we'll see how good they feel on the track. If they are not up to standard I will update my post.
