If they don’t fit right or feel good when you run in them, just send them back. If you are lucky enough to live in the SLC area, you can pick them up and return them at the warehouse and save yourself some shipping. Not only does Backcountry.com have a real nice return policy, they sponsor some of the coolest athletes on the planet.

The WHITE Bondi B is about true to size, perhaps go up half a size. The GREY Bondi B fits way more narrow so you’d probably want a full size larger. Mafate seemed about true to size but they didn’t work for me, too much pronation control for the way I run. Haven’t tried Stinson’s yet.

That explains why my friend ordered his size, expecting them to fit close (he likes them that way for some reason) and they had a bit of room in them.

Looking to get my first pair of Hokas. Not sure whether the Stinson or Mafate is the better choice. I will be ordering them so no chance to try them on first. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks and good luck at HR!
