I am very happy with this shoe. I actually went down a half size from my normal size as many have suggested. The shoes are tight but uncomfortable. My biggest issue with Adidas shoes in the past has been that the toe box was too tight. This shoe is no problem. My little toe on both feet is not bruised. Also, they look pretty impressive. They're not cheap at $90, but with a gift card, Amex points, and an Amex rebate, they only cost me $40. I played with them once and my feet were very happy.
