Bought these because I was tired of wearing regular running shoes and I'm not a serious cyclist to buy ear clips. I didn't see the female version, I decided to buy it. I just tested them and they definitely suit my rides a lot better (6-10 miles each). I wear a size 10 in women's sneakers but buy a size 10.5 in sneakers because my feet tend to swell. I have a 9.5 (marked 43 on the shoes) and they fit perfectly. I would recommend!
