I bought this knowing that my fit with the 8.5 Nike is pretty glove-like. But despite my dedication to the brand and my love for Nike, this pair is probably the most comfortable pair of them all. The fit is perfect, the construction is solid and looks great. I haven't broken them in yet as they have become my "lifestyle" pair for work and everyday. Interestingly, some of the Nike shoes I've had over the years have varied in size and fit, but this one is absolutely the best. And the price is very reasonable.
