This style offers a wider fit. Women typically size down approximately 1.5 to 2 sizes when selecting this model. For example, someone who wears a women’s 10 wide would likely fit a size 8. For men it is recommended to try .5 down from your street shoe size. For example, someone who wears a men's 10.5 street shoe would likely fit a size 10.
