I need these shoes for handball in the hall and am very satisfied. I have measured shoe size 42.5 - wearing most shoes in Gr. 43 and knew that I have to take once more at 1/2 size Asics. Therefore it fits perfectly. One star deduction is only because I will never be noted that you have to take the shoe 1 greater size than the measured size. Otherwise this is a hammer shoe gives a very good grip, is very convenient and dampens super good especially in the heel area. No pain in the ankles after the game are the positive result. Can I absolutely recommend.
