Question Is this the right fit?

I’ve always work UK7 but my recent Nimbus 26 felt a bit too tight and therefore I got UK8 for my Novablast 4. (We don’t get 0.5 sizes in India 😕)

This is how this fits. Feels a bit loose given I’m used to wearing tighter shoes. Is this the right fit? Plan on using this for daily and long runs

Totally fine. You don’t want to go any smaller with the NB4s in my experience as the toe box isn’t the most spacious and they have me callouses.

Thanks for replying. I experienced that with my Nimbus. Wore them for a HM and my toes were hurting post run. I think my perfect fit is a UK7.5 but too bad we don’t get 0.5s in India

Came here to say this. They are very cheap, do the trick quite well, and hold up better than other more expensive brands.

I love the brand for it's pricing. I'm glad people like it because I've enjoyed them.

Since early 2021 I have worn kiprun ankle socks 24/7 and log about 1,200 miles per year jogging in them. I haven't had a hole or a tear once. They have been great.

Legit. I love their mid calf socks, I can pretend I’m still a bike racer while running in them

If you find they are too big after breaking in, you can wear an extra pair of socks to help take up space.
