Ok, so far love the shoes tried them on with stockings & socks theres about an inch room in back but, We need the space. They appear to be true to size for Dansko's. Maybe a tad big but this is my first time getting a size 9. Usually get a size 8.  I wanted lots of room in toe box. I will have to wear it with thick socks or tights they still flop off heel. I may return them for 8 1/2 if possible .
