I bought 2 pair of Livewire and 1 pair of Vice in size 5.5. My FiveTen Freeriders are size 5.5 and fit perfectly. The Livewire run at least a full size small. I could barely get my foot inside! I had to return them at my expense. The Vice run at least a half size too small. I kept them because it would be a huge loss for me to pay to return them. They are way too tight and uncomfortable. They are crushing my toes. Definitely order a half size up at the least. If you can, try them on somewhere before you buy them because the return shipping makes the purchase not worth making.
I'm a big fan of my '24 Vice Women's shoe. I wear it everyday for bike commuting on my flat pedals and I also wear it casually as a lifestyle shoe. The sole is nice and sturdy, and the exterior is durable and wipeable. I would recommend sizing up by a half size; I typically wear a 8.5 women's and I find this shoe to be the right length, but a bit tight around the toes.
I am over the moon on my new bike shoes! So comfortable and my feet stick to the pedals when I need it on the mixed terrain.
It’s a nice shoe, good quality. I’m usually a size 9-9.5, 26-26.5 mondo. I ordered a size 10 since I wanted a more slip in and out shoe for commuting. This one pinches my toes! I had to remove the insole and put in a smaller one and stretch out the toe box. The smaller insole helped. Hopefully the toe will stretch.
They hold up through everything and look sick while doing it!
