But as already mentioned in the other reviews before I have my usual shoe size 42 1/2 (or 8.5 UK) ordered and realized that this is borderline. Compared to the same NB 574 different designs (I am years of NB-carrier and own a few different pairs) fall from these very small. This time I have taken the leather version. At the same time I have the New Balance running shoe M1260 ordered in the same size. If one both shoes absolutely perfect fit in a line next to each other, you can see with the naked eye already a significant difference in size. The clamping effect when 574 slightly wider, the running shoe has the perfect instrument stability to offer a slightly wider sole. But at the base sits the running shoe generous and comfortable despite the same size. This is certainly important for the running exercise, because the 574 is a casual shoe. Unfortunately, an exchange was not possible because the next larger shoe size was no longer available and I can but in the end I arangieren so. Just a few words to the dealer: because of the above proplems I have these contacted by phone - quick and immediate help, very friendly service and the exchange or the return would have been problems and hesitation possible.
