I'd already owned a pair of these Adidas a size bigger, so I experimented with going down a size. I couldn't wear them, so I used the return policy Something4u2wear offers. I always compliment sellers on their packaging, and I feel they went even further than usual, buy placing the shoes in a sealed shipping cover, and then fully wrapping them in multiple layers of shipping paper. The hiking shoes looked pristine, and the traction I get with this style is unbeatable. Highly recommended seller!
