Starting out I did not buy this product, but I got the chance to try it on at a store called Shoe Carnival. Glad I did. While this shoe did fit well, the toes are cramped and you can feel the defined edge of the steel toe. Which rubbed my toes and I feared would rub them raw. Even trying a size larger didn't help remedy the cramped toe issue. Perhaps if the shoes were wide it could have made a huge difference. They are a lot heavier than the men's version of the shoe which I ended up buying instead. I wear size 9 in women's went with 7.5 in men's, they were lighter and much more roomy in the toe area.
