These shoes have a very strong smell from the bottom material. Im size 8.5 and ordered two sizes and the biggest one fit me, my big toes don't reach too much the point of the shoes, they are a little bit lose from the sides, I will say they are 50% comfortable only because, they come with no inserts and with no arch support but, I can feel floor or ground while walking. The think sole it is not padded as I thought.
