ALL of my regular sneakers in multiple brands are and have always been a Women's 6.5.
The snibbs rovr 6.5 was too long inside, with a bit too much toe space/length. So I ordered a 6 and sent the 6.5 back. The 6 fits perfectly!
*The post-typing box review questionnaire had me choose a Size Purchased and Usual size starting at a 7, so I had to click something to proceed. It did not provide 6 and 6.5 as a choice for me to choose.
These are much lighter weight than other clunky brands , supportive, AGILE and comfortable.
They hug the sides of my feet nicely, holding feet in place so my feet did not slip around whatsoever. The heel hold is incredibly comfortable and zero pressure, slip or rubbing wrong! Even during multiple deep squat bending! I also did NOT feel any fold line pressure/pain across the top of my top toe joints when walking or bending the shoe , which happens with other brands.
My pinky toe and big toe were NOT shoved together or inwards, which causes or aggravates bunions in other slip resistant shoes that I've tried. Probably because the snibbs toe box is well designed and the heel and foot hold are so solid.
The only problem I kept having, was with my own socks. Because it is a "sock" feel shoe, I skipped socks for a few days until I could find socks that wouldn't start hurting in a specific area inside the shoe and ended up just skipping socks entirely because it was the only way that I felt zero foot aggravation by the end of every shift. I even tried pricey ultra thin smooth socks with zero seams and had strange pain on the inside of both arches after a few hours of work. It was the socks for sure, and not the shoe.
Worn in a fast paced commercial bakery with non stop moving, flour, batter splatter and often getting soaked with dishwater/clean up. These ran through my washing machine, multiple times and held up with no change or distortion, then I set them in front of a box fan overnight to dry.
I am happy to see that they dry relatively quickly. I can simply hand wash or wipe down but I wanted and needed to see if they can withstand a washing machine. Yes.
I like that I can replace the insoles easily if need be.
Got many compliments on these. Many co-workers asked what brand they were, said they looked nice, so I hope they get some.
I hope to try the Orbit at some point as well.
*Huge tip! terry moore's old ted talk, How to tie your shoes, shows how to simply create a stronger knot during your initial criss-cross, that also keeps the bow oriented along the transverse axis of the shoe which looks better and doesn't come undone. Which is safer at work and helps make these shoes look fly af.
