I tried the Prime Wardrobe (which was so cool. Thanks, Amazon) I didn't think these would fit or they'd be clunky. Everything else I tried on had issues but these were perfect right out of the box!!! I usually wear a 10 in boots and sneakers (sometime 9.5 in flats and sandals). But the 41 fits me PERFECTLY. Also, I almost always put an orthotic arch support in all of my shoes- these don't need it. These have ample arch support and are cushioned richly inside so my feet feel great wearing them. They are somewhat flexible or whatever it is they walk perfectly- not clunky, not stomping around, just perfect, elegant steps. The outside is such a rich and soft suede and looks great. No complaints about these, I'm so thankful I found them. They are worth every penny. It's amazing to find a shoe I don't need to trick out with additional support or modify to make more comfortable. These are my favorite purchase (and first Danskos).
