I bought these to wear to our Renaissance festival this year. They look great with my renn garb! They do seem to me a little small. I wear a 9.5 and these were tight in the toes. Also, as these are indoor dance shoes they offer no support and have a very thin sole so you will feel the gravel and every little thing on the ground! All in all I like them, and as they are leather I expect they will stretch the more I wear them.
