I have ran the past two years in two different PI shoes. The peak xc and the streak. I bought the streak 2 also. Both shoes I need a 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear for my everyday shoes. I just ordered the peak II, I wish I would have seen the ST review of the Kissaki before ordering the peak II. Even though the peak xc was labeled a trail shoe it, I used it as my everyday trainer and loved it.

I'd go a half size larger if the isos are any indicator.

Sorry to hijack the thread a bit: First, let me say I really liked my isos but now they're toast, was going to replace them with the kissaki after the review but this comment in the review caused me to pause: "The Kissaki might be an excellent shoe for a heavier runner who wants a racing flat with a little more cushioning and protection; or, a very nice training shoe for the lighter runner."

might be... very nice... ??? I'm a heavier runner so it might be a good fit, still it seems like he's holding back a big endorsement like the ones he gave the isos.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I'd like to hear some feedback on the shoes before I pull the trigger.

Half size bigger. Seems to be same fit as Streak/IsoTrans and I'm 1/2 size bigger and NEVER bigger in any other shoes.

Looking forward to this shoe a lot. Should last a little longer, and be a little more durable which will be awesome for training!

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll kick back on here after I have some miles in them. The only question now is which ugly color.....

I'm going black with blue and yellow for winter, then either orange because my son LOVES orange or praying for new colors for summer :)

I had to go a half size up in the Peak 2 and the Kissaki. I'm normally a 10.5 in our shoes (Fuels, Paces, and Floats) but have had to go to an 11 on most of our flats (Streaks, Peaks, and Transition).

I recieved my peak 2's yesterday and I ordered them the same size as my streaks and peak xc (8.5). They are two small. I really didn't like their feel either, so I am going to send them back to try the Kissaki.

Just got mine - order 1/2 size up.

Don't know if anybody has had this issue but...

5th PI shoe I have used. All are 9's, where I am 8.5 in everything else. Got the Peak2's at the same time, SNUG fit at 9 (but in a good way) but the Kissakis were WAY big in the toe box. Tried on 8.5's, still big, and settled on 8's. Weird. I don't know what is up with that, but the 8's felt really good.

Anyone else have this issue?

x2, I went down a half size from my iso transitions, still pretty big. I have no idea where Jeroen got the idea they ride like the isos. I know the isos, I've run in the isos, and these my friend are no isos. I was hoping for isos with more durable outsole, still waiting. Not too shabby tho', kind of a trimmed down Brooks Launch, I'll stick with 'em for now.

I just tried the 8's at the store today, but am sick so no running til Thurs probably. The shoes felt really nice, however I need more time (obviously) to see what I think for sure. But I think it will be nice and "close" to the streaks/isos but good enough for training. That's what I am looking for, and I love Pearls shoes so far for sure.

I was a little upset they weren't more like the isos but after awhile I warmed up to 'em, for some reason I really like the way the look, in that respect they're exactly like the isos. Hope you feel better and don't sneeze in this direction ;)

You know what they say about men who's feet are shrinking. Did you say you had a cold, or that you are cold?
