          I read other comments and selected a full size larger than I would normally 11 vs. 10. The shoes fit very well. I can honestly say that I do not remember having a pair of new shoes feel as comfortable as these do.

          • Feels full size too small

                Liked the look of these shoes, and purchased them for knocking around. When I purchased them last week, the were no reviews listed here, so did not see that another customer said they ran small. Checked out other sites that mentioned the sizing, so ordered a half size up from my normal size. Still too small. Paying to ship these back and wondering if I take a chance on going up a full size. Too bad.

                  Comments about Garmont 9.81 Race Trail-Running Shoes - Men's - 2010 Closeout:

                  I Read another Review and Decided I Would Try the 9 Since this Particular Model was Not Available in Half Sizes. The Fit is Perfect and the Design is High Quality with a Color I Usually Only See in Women's Shoes for Some Reason. The First thing I Noticed When I Grabbed the Shoes out of the Box is that their Was Some thought Put into the Engineering. The lacing System is Reminiscent of Salomon, a Shoe I Generally Wear for Recreation and Casual Dress. The Second thing I Noticed is that the Shoe is Very light Weight, Which I like, But I think the Build would Probably lead me to Believe that a Mix Use Would be Best for longevity. As Someone who Recently Blew through 2 Pair of Salomon Shoes in 6 Months of Walking, Trail Runners are Generally Not Made for High Volume Concrete Excursions.

                  • Width:
                  • Feels too narrow

                    Good brand, one I have purchased several times, but this pair is small and narrow in the same size I normally wear.

                    Service and delivery comments:

                    If the size isn't true for a brand one has purchased before from REI, why should the customer pay shipping to return them for a refund or exchange?
