Before you order, consider this.
I bought a pair of the blue/yellow ones at Amazon. My size is 9.5, and that's what I got. It turns out it is a little shorter, since trail running shoes should have at least a half-thumbnail space in front of your big toes. These shoes almost fit this criteria, and I could probably live with it if it wasn't for another issue. It is also quite tight on the sides, despite being the Standard Fit (so-called wide). It could be that I have very wide feet, but I did hear others had the same issue.
Gladly, I purchased them with Amazon's free shipping and free return stamp. So I ordered the size 10, which I'm supposed to receive tomorrow in the mail.
With that said, my 9.5 pair was stupid light, clocking my scale at 6.8 oz. Despite the tight fit, I'm really hooked on these shoes. I'm hoping the size 10 will work for me because they look and feel phenomenal. Don't be afraid to order this, but do it at least a half-size bigger. I can update it here as soon as I receive the new pair.
By the way, I also just joined the drop for the size 10 here. It's the cheapest place to get the black version (it looks great too). And yes, they don't look like they will last, and that's why I want two of those. I figure I'm better off paying $100 for two ultralight pairs that combined will last as long as one $120 pair of heavy, reinforced shoes. Ironically, the sole of one of my (super heavy) Merrell hiking shoes is already becoming unglued after less than 20 miles of hiking. So yeah, I'm not too worried about the durability of these shoes.
A couple more things: Don't plan to kick any rocks with these shoes. It will hurt; there's barely any protection. And remember to order a half-size up. You'll be ready to fly in the trails.
