The actual size is (as with New Balance often) small and that's why I ordered a number greater precaution. So the shoe has now fitted perfectly. From the looks of the shoe is a real hammer and he can also be combined easily to any jeans. Processing and seat is also impeccable. If someone buys the shoe as a pure "Running" shoe so I have to mention limiting that I feel the sole on wet stones as not quite as handy as I am used to from other trail shoes. I can still absolutely recommend the shoe :)
