Nike Men's Air Max 2015, DARK OBSIDIAN/WHITE-BLUE LAGOON-PSN GREEN, 10.5 M US

Bought them for dad...he definitely loves them...

I have the 2012 pair and couldn't be happier, but I just finished a half marathon and knew it was time to finally retire them. There was no question that I wanted these as a replacement. From the beginning, I realized the difference in fit compared to the 2012s, but chose to ignore it. I typically wear an 11, but not the case with these. The 10.5 was ALMOST too small, but the 11 was DEFINITELY too big. I really struggled with that, but decided to go with the 10.5. I also noticed the shoe was narrower than the previous models, but chose to ignore that too... until my first run (which was only about 5 miles). Sure, the bottoms of my feet felt like I was running on a cloud, but then I stopped and realized that I had a blood blister on my heel that was about the size of my thumb. The heel is so narrow it's in somewhat of a V shape. The heel support had been rubbing against me the whole time. I typically run about 25 miles a week and deal with blisters from time to time, but this was, by far, the worst one I've ever had. After dealing with that (and having less than a month to prepare for my next half), I decided to return them. These might be great to wear casually and for that I give them 2 stars, but beware of the narrow fit if you're a runner and are purchasing based on the fit of previous models.
