These do run large. I ordered my usual 39 and found them a bit long, which is OK. They fit over the arch where the laces can be adjusted. The problem is a heel too wide to hug my foot securely. I then tried a size 38 and found it to be too small in the toe box and over the arch, though the length is only about a quarter inch shorter. I have medium-width feet.

People report these shoes as supportive, but they are not. I learned from my doctor that a highly flexible sole that bends--folds, actually--at the base of the toes is not supportive. A supportive shoe has more substance and body in the sole. It will bend, but not fold, a little higher up on the toes so that you can walk comfortably. Compare to a high quality pair of running shoes. People truly in need of supportive shoes would have tired feet at the end of the day if you walk a lot and even with custom orthotics.

The beige/tan color was not to my taste, seeming too orthopedic despite the decorative perforations. The gray definitely has a greenish cast, with bronze decoration at the heels and a slightly darker toe, adding some interest to the shoe's appearance.
