I had to return these as they were a half size too small even though I ordered my usual size. I think this is due to the stiff leather big toe stop that is sewn over the normally all mesh area. Even while walking, it was uncomfortable for my toe to rub against it. Otherwise, seemed well constructed. These would probably be great for runners who wear through the top of their shoes in the big toe area. But, I would consider ordering a half size larger to avoided rubbing against the inflexible toe cover.
