Anyone out there have a pair of the new women's solutions? none of the retail stores near me carry them, so i can't try them out. I'm wondering about sizing? I'm a 36.5 in the w's miura vs, and a 37 in the w's miura lace. how does the solution compare to the miuras, or even the older men's solutions?

Hey!

I always wear the Testarossas in a 37. The women's Solutions are much narrower, esp in the heel. I had to go up half a size just to get them on, and even then they pinched painfully. I heard they stretch a bit and get less painful, but I personally do not know. I have never worn the Miruas, but if you have a narrow foot the W Solutions may be a good fit.

These are the sizes I am wearing in the different shoes:
Muira Lace-ups- 34.5 (these are super tight) and 35.
Muira VS- 35.0 (tight)
New Solutions- 35.0 (tight)

I tried the Men's solutions, size 35, and the biggest issue was the heel. The Women's solution heel is perfect for my foot (ie. narrower and the back does not dig into my Achilles).
However, I didn't find other differences in the 35 sizing from Men to Women model.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
