I love these, many years ago I had a similar pair without the grip soles, My normal size is 8.5 or 39; I got the size 9. I have an AA narrow foot, and they could be a little more narrow for me. These are not padded like another pair of clogs I have, they are the traditional  wooden type, with some updated features, like the heel, and grip sole. I think they are very comfortable, however if you are used to lots of padding you may not like these.
