Granted, my husband thought I was a bit odd to sign the family up for the Kids Bowl Free program and immediately buy a pair of bowling shoes when I can count on my hands how many times I've been bowling in my life, but I explained about how rented bowling shoes are icky and hey, we only have to go bowling 22 times to make the shoes cheaper than renting, and coincidentally, they look darn cute too!  Well, for bowling shoes anyway.

Fit wise, they are almost tight on me, but not; I guess that makes them "snug."  I wear an 8.5 and bought an 8.5.  If you waver between two sizes regularly, you might want to go for the larger size.
