Different brands — charts and lasts both matter. Clifton 9 is labeled True to Size (True to size). Pegasus 41 is True to Size (True to size; use Wide/Extra Wide rather than length-up).
Hoka Clifton 9 is a true-to-size daily trainer for most runners. It can feel a touch snugger than Bondi in the forefoot; use Hoka wide if needed. Length tricks are rarely required when width is chosen correctly.
Nike Pegasus 41 fits true to size in length as Nike’s everyday trainer. The toebox tapers, so wide feet should use Nike’s Wide/Extra Wide options — sizing up in length often adds heel slip without fixing forefoot pinch.
Use the table below as a starting point from fit offsets — then confirm with try-on or returns. Width can matter more than length between these two.
