After reading/watching several reviews on these shoes I decided to take the plunge as many reviewers really enjoyed the ride and rocker despite some experiencing some ankle rubbing issues. I actually didn’t experience any rubbing issues either but I found the upper a bit too tight for my liking. The only Hoka that I haven’t had any fitment issues with this year has been the skyward x. I’ve found the others to be on the tighter side and i prefer uppers to have a bit more volume to them. The $110 price includes shipping within the US and without the box. I can also ship them in the original box if you’d like it
