text: I normally wear size 9W or 9.5 when wide is not available.  I can usually get by in 8.5W.  After reading reviews, I knew to order larger so I ordered 9.5W.<br />  I coul barely get my feet into them & so I returned them intending to order size 10.5W or 11W.  Unfortunately, at that time, only a limited selection was available & so I ordered 10W.<br />  They were too tight when they arrived but, out of desperation, I tried a mile run.  By the end of the run, one foot was uncomfortable & the other was in pain from the squeeze.<br />  I gave it 3 stars because I'm honestly not sure what to give.  The shoes seem good, but the sizing is far different from other New Balance shoes.<br />  If considering these shoes, I would recommend aiming 1.5 to 2 sizes larger than normal.
