I have never tried this brand before, but Ive been meaning to. The shoe itself looks great, as well as the quality. I got the animal print. However, the toe box is extremely short, you have to have stubs to fit in them or buy half size up. I certainly don't think I have long toes. I plan on sending them back and trying the 9.5, If its too big, oh well, then no KD for me. I hope its not like Aldo shoes as far as fit (not quality), as with those, cant find the right size at all. Too big or too small!
