These do run slightly small - I read that and ordered a half size up, and they fit well. Very comfortable (especially when I replaced the laces with elastic laces, making them easy to slip on and off), great for walking a lot. But in just four months the soles have worn so much that there is pretty much no tread left. These were worn for everyday errands and two short trips - I don't walk miles and miles on a regular basis. The rest of the shoe has worn well and still looks great, so if the soles were more durable these would be awesome.
