Adidas Women's Energy Cloud V Running Shoes - Lightweight Cushioned Sneakers for Jogging, Gym & Everyday Wear | Perfect for Workouts, Walking & Active Lifestyle

I wear a 8.5 in flats and I normally buy a 9 in sneakers (I own mostly Nike). After reading a few reviews and that I also have a pair of adidas original 3 stripes, I ordered the 8.5 one. The shoes fit fairly well. I know adidas run a bit large so I was pleased with the fit. But the top of the foot feels snug. I'll tell you why... the tongue of the shoe is not loose, it's actually sowed onto the shoe and it doesn't have an elastic piece so it doesn't stretch any bigger if you. We'd more room. It was a slight discomfort when putting it on but once the shoe is on and tied up, I could barely feel the difference.Someone pointed out that the glue is very visible and I agree with that but it doesn't bother me. What I found surprising is that it didn't come in an adidas box. The box is plain brown all around. I don't know why that is or if that indicates a knock off. The pictures I attached are the shoes on top of the box it came in on the day it arrived. The box literally just have a barcode on it. Hope this review helps those who are deciding to buy these.The supper on the shoe is pretty good. I have a high arch and a wide feet. I wore these a couple times for some light running around on the city while on errand duties. When I feel like working out, I'll definitely take these with me and test them out. :)
