Beautiful shoes and craftsmanship. The leather is butter soft. I am a true size 10 in the US and buy 41 in ECCO sandals. I have a "low volume" foot so a narrower fit in sandals is great for me. I don't wear ECCO shoes/boots because they're too tight. This style worked well for my skinny ankles. The straps are fiddly. You'll have to actually sit down each time you take them on and off. Very secure! Very comfy! And they make a statement! That's all in all a great find. I'm 5' 11'' and don't mind being 6' 1'' in these.
