However, for those who would opt to follow their normal size, one wearer mentioned that wearing socks is the key to making this work.
For the toe box, reviewers appreciated the wide toe box of these tennis-inspired sneakers. One kickster even said that “they are a little bit wider than my Gucci Ultrapace R sneakers but not by much.”
