However, loyalists of the 840 series actually noticed the size difference between the v4 and the v5. One avid fan said: “I have worn this model for years but this time, the same size was way too small.” Another v4 user who transitioned to the 5th iteration said that “the v5’s are at least a half size smaller.”

Rubs the ankles the wrong way
The ankle collar comes up a bit too high on the 850 v5. This has become a problem for a few walking enthusiasts as one said that “the collar of the shoes calcitrate against my ankle bones.” Another agreed to say that “the area around the left ankle rubs and presses against my foot.”
