I completely agree with everything said prior, this shoe destroys everything. There are just a few things that I would like to add: First is that I have a medium to high-volume foot and this shoe fits me just fine. Second is that something is either different in the sizing of our street shoes, or we just have different fit ideas. I wear a ten street shoe in everything; nike, brooks, saucony, mizuno, five ten, but for my VCS's I down-sized two sizes. A size 8 seems perfect for me, I can wear them for 15-20 minutes at a time if I want to without any excesssive pain. I'd say that the stretch is around a quarter of a size, very minimal indeed. Definetly a re-soler, just try them on before ordering.
