I'm a longtime fan of Tom's and have many of them. I purchased these specifically to wear for work because I needed more support. At first I thought I would have to send them back because when I first put them on, they felt a little tight and I was really surprised at that because my Tom always fit me perfectly. But I walked around in them and in under 5 minutes I could tell they would be fine and now they have loosened up to the point that I hope they don't loosen up any more! I took off a star because they don't seem to have the foot and arch support that, for instance, my leather ones do. And I purchase them mainly for the extra support. Other than that, they're great. I wear a 7.5 usually, and that's what I ordered, and they are plenty roomy.
