Nope, I went with the same size as with Hiro (9 uk). Hiro does feel snuggier than Negon, besides on the top of my toes, but as mentioned, Negon's unstructured toecap molds to your toes. Next time I am in Madrid I might try Negon in 8.5 just to be sure, but I believe that it will be too short.Thanks. Did you size down from your Hiro size? From what i hear HOK=ROD=Negon
I have a chelsea in HOK (sized down from HIRO), chelsea in ROD (same size as Hiro w/ insert). They are laceless though.
