Usually the Bobs have a relaxed fit so a 9 is roomy despite having a wider and fatter foot with an arch. But this one was really long on the toes and narrow ijn the arch/middle of the foot. They looked goofy due to the long toe area and were uncomfortable. Not much stretch and the lace is rough/scratchy so wearing without socks might not work. Disappointed because I loved my last Bobs.
