I am a recent convert to the barefoot style of shoe, and wanted something casual to wear with shorts.  These are pretty sporty looking, the top is a thin leather that does stretch a bit with time to conform to your feet.  I ordered a half size up, which worked for my funky feet.  I think for anyone else they would run pretty true to size.  Be aware that this is very much a "barefoot" shoe, which take some acclimation.  I actually think that this style would be a good type to start off with.  I went straight to&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Merrell-Women-s-Pace-Glove-Trail-Running-Shoe/dp/B000KQZD6A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Merrell Women's Pace Glove Trail Running Shoe</a>&nbsp;for 12 hour shifts on my feet, which was not so smart.  I wish I'd got these first, and worn them for a while before transitioning on to the others.

If you're already a convert to barefoot shoes, you'll like these as a good casual shoe.
