I needed new work shoes since I'm standing all day at the airport. I'm a true size 8 US sizing & 8.5/9 in European sizing. I got these in a 7.5 and they're way off. They appear to be 1 full size off, heck, they just might be 1 1/2 size off. They are well crafted and quite comfortable. Oh well, now I have to run out and purchase a pair of shoes for work tomorrow. I'm totally bummed. Back they go! (reason for 1 star...buyer beware...sizing issues!!!)
