I'm purchasing the Nike Zoom Forever XC for this upcoming cross country season and was wondering how they size. I wear a 9 in Asics GT2130s and a 9 in my Nike Eldoret II's. Should I order a 9 or would a 8.5/9.5 be a better fit? I don't have any place locally that sells these so I can't try them on.
9 - I run in the Eldoret's also and purchased a 9 in the XC's and they're fine.
I'm going to say 9.5. I need almost a full size larger than my Eldoret II. The Forevers are narrower as well if that makes a difference to you. Go to a store if you can and try them on/buy them there.
I wear a 9 in the GT2130s, a 9.5 in eldorets, and a 9.5 in forevers. If the eldorets feel good, get a 9, if they're a little small, get a 9.5.
