These run about 1/2 size smaller than most sketchers but guess it depends on what fit u like. I liked the first pair I bought this past summer that I have purchased 4 more pair. They are one of the few pairs of shoes I have purchased where you can put them on and there is no breakin period. They are comfortable from the get go and I highly recommend them for the comfort, ease of cleaning (I pop mine in the washer) the odor protection if you go bare foot and just plain awesome walking comfort. When I put these on for the first time I'd have bet money someone just my size had worn them for a month to break them in.
