adidas "adistar" fencing shoes does anyone know if these shoes run small or large? someone has a pair of men's 7.5 and i'm a women's 9 and i was wondering if these would fit me. normally i wear a men's 8 but i'm hoping that they wouldn't be too small. anyone have any info about the shoes?

i think they run small... my adistars are about a size bigger than my running shoes.
Honestly, the only way you can tell for sure is to try them on.

Are they worth the money? I've been thinking about getting a pair. RebelFencer's Awesome Quote of the Week:

Even if they run small, they should fit. I'm a women's 8.5-9 (depends on the show) and I wear men's sizes from 7-7.5.

I like the old style a lot. Have not used the new ones. My old ones ran small so I always ordered a half size up but I wear two layers of socks to prevent blisters. I am currrently using the Dart II's and they also seem to run about a half size small, but are a bit wider in the toes and bridge of the foot than the old ones so are nice and comfy for me.

I don't know, the Stabils look like they run a little high on the heel. I like how my Dart 1s are built...and they're pretty light, so I may just suck it up and get the adistars. RebelFencer's Awesome Quote of the Week:

heard lots of durabilty issues for the adistars though. actually i've compared the stabil5 and adistar and the soles are of similar material and design (the darts 2 is similar to li ning) and cost a quarter the price. the heel is one of the cons of the stabil though...that and the weight imho. but i love the cushioning and grip... ====)--------------------------------------------------------------------
