Ok.... this has a weird fit and let me see if I can explain why.  My shoe size varies depending on the style of shoe I wear.  I ordered a size 40; which is somewhere around a 9 and a 9.5 . The width of the shoe [toe area] fits perfect if I wear it barefoot.  I tried using half socks but once I try to put my foot in,  its a tight fit.

"Well what if you go up a size?" You might ask. Well the length of the shoe is longer than my foot.  When I wear my shoes my foot can literally dance inside of how big the shoe is.  The good thing is that it has belt that ties around my ankles.  It is the belt that keeps my feet inside the shoe.

I like the shoes.  However i have to wear them barefoot and pray the ankle strap doesn't break on me.

[Updated] I had to return to my review and take away a star. It has only been 2 months and the shoe's heel strap broke. I buy cheap shoes but they usually last at least half a year. 2 months is ridiculous.
