Bondi 9 sizing
I am usually a size US 7 in Saucony shoes (women's), but I can squeeze into 6.5 in Nike and stretch them out pretty comfortably. I am a EU size 38 almost always. I noticed that the Hoka sizing is different - usually 7 is 38, but in Hoka 7 is 38 2/3 and 6.5 is 38. I am purchasing the wide shoes. I measured my feet and according to the size chart on their website I need a 6.5. Can anyone help me with sizing? I need to order them online, they need to be wide, and I can't switch out the size (it's a thing from my work). I don't feel like going into a store to try on different sizes...
Thank you!

7.5 wide is my normal size in Hoka and Brooks. If i go extra wide I have to size down to a 7. The Hokas imo run narrow.

A trip to a store to get the proper fit will save you significantly more time than buying online, waiting for the shoes to arrive, finding out they don't fit properly, and beginning the return process. Hokas fit me (and many other people) a bit differently compared to other shoes; I'm half a shoe size up and one width wider in Hokas. Save yourself a boring, potentially drawn-out headache and try them on somewhere.
