These Hoka shoes were purchased for my son to use to either run, workout, or wear casually. He's a college student and ran in high school. When I found these for him on the Holabird site, he didn't hesitate to say yes, please buy them. Meaning he'd wear them right out of the box when they arrived. And he did. The fit is slightly wide, 9.5 D, for him. I wear the same size and they were a perfect fit for me. He wears a thicker sock and all is well with the fit. The look and feel is fine for him and he now wears them to work or any few outings he takes. Again, best price out there was here in Holabird.
