Go far! The first pair my husband ordered for me (a Christmas present) was my usual size 8. I liked how they looked - I got the coral color. But they bruised my legs terribly - both the toes and toes, even just testing them on our home carpet. Having both plantar fasciitis and peripheral neuropathy, I definitely couldn't wear a pair of shoes that made my feet hurt even more than they do. The whole point was to get a good, comfortable pair of hiking/running shoes. Looking at other reviews saying the same thing, these shoes clearly have a design flaw - they are too tight! And I don't have wide feet. I've never ordered "wide" in my life. But I decided to try the 8 on in person at the New Balance store and they felt so much better! However, they weren't that amazing color, so I ordered an 8th width from Revain. They arrived recently and they fit perfectly. I'm looking forward to covering many kilometers with it.
