I wear size 10.5 - 11 depending on the shoe and manufacturer. My purpose in buying this shoe was for recumbent cycling (3 wheel). Since my toes are somewhat hammered resulting in uncomfortable pressure when biking or walking. I also have a wide foot so I ordered size 11.5 - 4X width. These shoes were the solution to a nagging problem and have proven after multiple uses that I made the right decision. They are light yet hold my feet firmly in place when I ride. I am extremely happy with these shoes.

I bought these for my 12 year old son, whose feet are very long (a men's size 10 1/2) and narrow. They fit well, and are lightweight. He finds them very comfortable, and is pleased with the bright red.

This shoe is not for people with extra wide feet, this is my second time trying out Nikes, and it has been a let down. They are a good shoe brand, but for people who have narrow to moderately wide feet. If you wear 4E wide shoes, pick something like Asics, or New Balance, especially the latter, as they specialize in people with wide feet. This shoe felt more like a 2E than a 4E, i did everything possible (without) stretching the shoe to 'break it in' nothing worked. Me feet just hurt really badly, so I'm returning them. I just purchased a New Balance 680, and the first day, it just fits... No pain, just pure comfort.
I'd also recommend:
Asics, New Balance, sketchers, and sometimes addidas.

I've put a couple hundred miles of running into these shoes and I can now say that I'm glad I bought them. I'm a little more likely to have feet that ache after a run, but these are light and I look forward to my runs in them.

I do not know what is going on with Nike. My son has been wearing shoes like this for years. Always the same size. These were huge. Had to return. Too bad too because the colors were nice.

These shoes fit to size but have no overpronation support. The shoes literally collapsed after just a few days forcing me to walk on just the outside edge of my foot which ended up causing issues with my knee. I would not recommend these shoes to anyone.
I'd also recommend:
Asiscs

These looked and felt great on my son, but the material started fraying after only a few weeks of moderate wear.

I purchased these for my son. We needed to go up half a size as the shoes run a bit narrow. He says they are comfortable.

Ordered this shoe for my grandson who prefers to wear only one type/style of shoe. These perfectly matched his previous pair except they're much more substantial on the sole and not as lightweight as the previous ones. He put them on and has worn them ever since. Barely takes them off for bed!

Bought for my teenage son, as we have to get bigger shoes about every 6 months. He is picky. These fit well (though he had to get an 11 and his other shoes are 9.5) . He does not lov the shoe strings, as it seems they are always coming undone and a little short.

The shoes fit true to size and are the perfect width. They are lighter than my air max’s and are very comfortable for my runs. I’m 6 foot 200 pounds and they help keep my feet cool and comfortable
