KK/RB, I have a pair of Asics Corridos, which I wear for X-Country and track MD. I got a size bigger than I normally wear, even though Asics usually fit in your normal size. The width is good, but there is space at the end of the toe box, which makes the shoes look long on my foot. However, I run well in them and have had no injury problems. I guess you are OK so long as your foot doesn't slip around in the shoe, which could cause black toenail if you run distance.
