can you run on concrete with these?

I run a lot of 5ks and rran both a hilly 10 miler and 6 miler in them as well as hiked Mt Major in NH...they are excellent...I've had no issues whatsoever...some women behind me in the 10 miler talked loudly about how stupid I was to run in them...I seriously got them for running as I'm training for Marine corps marathon next month...now that I know I can machine wash them...I find them to be my perfect shoes...byebye sneakers

Does the chemical smell go away? Did anyone get a pair that did not stink? These shoes are comfortable but I can’t wear them due to the smell.

Mine smell so bad, I can't wear them. I am trying to find out how to get rid of the smell so I can wear them. I love the feel of the shoe, but won't wear until I can get rid of the offensive smell--it makes me nauseous.

What is the heal to toe drop?

Pretty close to zero. There is no additional layers in the heal part of the sole. Hist a slight amount of padding from the inner sole, which is removable if you really want that "barefoot" feel. You can really feel everything when you are wearing these.

I wear a 6 in street shoes and a 6.5 in athletic shoes. Those don’t appear to come in smaller half sizes. Wondering what size to buy.

I wear a size 10 for one foot and a 9 for the other foot. I wear a wrap on the size 10 foot. I got a size 10 and they stretched enough to work for the size 10 foot WITH the brace on. They tighten enough to work for the size 9 foot so they aren't too loose. These shoes stretch, they are not ridged. I love them so, use your best judgment and if they don't work return them for the other size. I might add, I wear these barefoot except for the wrap on one foot, no socks.
