Shucks, I loved the b3 fit....but my feet are super wide.
Same here. I wear my shoes very loose anyway, so the B3 worked for me. Time to stock up on those before they're gone.
Also in the "I prefer a loose forefoot" category, Hokas are my long day shoe when comfort is my #1 goal, I like all the room up front when the day gets long and my feet get tired. Plus I do kinda have mutant feet... ;-)
I wonder if the b3 was a reaction to all the tearing the b2 had in its last redesign...but they went too wide and too high-volume for a lot of people's taste. I also tore the sides on my b2's where everyone else did and plenty of width in the same spot on my b3.
Edit: Ignore this paragraph, I just saw the new b4 review on the homepage. Thanks! I know I should wait for your review but I'll ask anyway... Dan, how does the shape of the b4 compare with the Conquest? Bad fit for me of the Conquest and to a lesser extent Clifton have influenced my feelings about the shape of Hokas lately... I did have success with the b2 but the same size Conquest was too narrow and seems longer. If the b4 fits me like the last iteration of the b2 then going up 1/2 size from my b3 would work for me--my b3 is 1/2 size smaller than b2 and both feel the same size, including length, which seems odd to me--and I'd have no complaints. (Though I still wish they'd make their forefoot shape a little less narrow in general...not a complaint, just a preference...haha!)
