MixedWith wide feet, even half a size up the toe box is a bit cramped, but workable.

NegativeFinds the Adios Pro 4 tapers too heavily below the toe box; true to size was too tight at the arch and metatarsals, so they'll go half a size up.

MixedThey went half a size up in the Adios Pro 4 because it runs narrow in the forefoot; it is less squishy than the Endorphin Elite 2.

MixedNeeded a full size up in the Pro 4, a size 12 versus their usual 11.5 in Adidas, after the half size was still too small.
