Description of La Sportiva Sonic TR Trail Running Shoes:
Ditch the pavement and head for the dirt with La Sportiva’s Sonic TR Shoes on your feet. The TPU lacing harness creates lightweight, flexible support, while roomy toeboxes ensure comfortable travel with less chance of blistering. La Sportiva constructed the uppers from tough yet pliable synthetic leather and breathable AirMesh, and added Ure-Teck reinforcements for protective strength. Hydrophobic heel and tongue foam repels water during stream crossings and rainy runs. An aggressive tread bites into loose terrain and grips slick ground.
I ordered these in the 45.5 (11) and they felt a half size, if not a whole size too small. I wanted to like them so much that I wore them for a day and even ran in them. My running socks proved to be the deciding factor as they made them definitely too small. I feel that even if they had fit right that there wouldn't have been enough padding in the shoe to sell me on them. And my feet are a normal width, these were wayy narrow. On the flip side they look SWEET, the outsoles seem to be a good design with the built in flex and the rubber is really grippy and supportive. I live in Eastern NC where my biggest obstacle is very rooty trails and they were supportive enough handle the dodging maneuvers necessary to ward off sprains. Just not for me.

Smaller feet and more support than cushion 07-31-09
I would agree with the previous reviews and order at least a 1/2 size up. I haven't had a difficult foot to fit into almost any shoe, but I am very glad I went up half a size in these.
Also, the shoes are good in the stability area, but lack some of the cushion of other shoes I have owned, this may not be a big deal to some, but at over 200 lbs, I could use the help.
I just got these and ran in them once. Great shoes very comforable. I have an 11 1/2 shoe size but because hardly anyone makes that I wear a 12. I ordered the 46 which is the 12 but it fits like an 11 1/2. Luckily this works for me still. Awesome shoe no other complaints very comfortable. Just order a half size than what you need should be good to go.
