Review on ASICS Gel-Nimbus 19 Lite-Show Women's Running Shoe by Jason Lewis

I was really excited about these shoes - love the way they look and the Nimbus have been great on my feet in the past. I checked the ASICS website for their "True Fit" sizes because I read reviews that these shoes run small. The ASICS website says I should wear a 9.5, although I'm otherwise a solid 9. But due to sizing issues that others have complained about, I've decided to stick with the 9.5. The shoes arrived and I left them at home while I went on a long vacation. When I finally got around to trying them on I found that they were very tight and a half size too big! Now my returns window is closed and I can't return them, so I'm stuck with a $100 pair of shoes I can't wear. Thank you ASICS.
