These are probably very good shoes and the price sure is right but the sizing, as others have said, is way off. I wear an 8-8.5 as a rule, and I order 9s in sneakers like this because they generally run very narrow. That usually puts the toe way out front like clown shoes but I'm used to that. This shoe, though, fits in the width pretty well but it so close at the toe in a 9 that it's essentially too small. I'd have to wear a 10 in this. Also, since the soles in shoes of this type are flat flat flat, I need room for an insole of some sort and this leaves none: my toes touch the top of the toe cap inside. Compared to a high top by another company that is also size 9, there is almost an inch of difference in length. The double tongue is fun on these though.
