My boyfriend bought these shoes for himself thinking that they were a UK size 9 (his size). They are actually a UK 8 (he read the US size, which is 9). He left the box at the shop so they'd be easier to carry (he bought two pairs of shoes, the other pair are on a different listing. Under Armour Trail shoes if you're interested.) As such he is unable to return them.

The official colour is Clownfish / Black. Clownfish is basically orange.

Here is the product description which should answer most questions:

The Mizuno Wave Hitogami 4 is a weapon of speed for runners looking for a fast paced shoe with plenty of cushioning.

In terms of fit and feel, the Hitogami 4 doesn't stray from version 3, however the updated upper offers a more streamlined look and feel.

This is a great race day shoe, suitable for distances from 5k up to half marathon, with a durable outsole and U4iC midsole cushioning to keep you comfortable over greater distances.

Designed using Mizuno 3D fit, the Hitogami 4 delivers the snug and secure ride that fans have come to expect from this shoe.
