I'm sure I'll enjoy these shoes for a long time. My experience w/sizing on these shoes is that I normally wear 8 1/2; I ordered 9 but they were too short! Rec'd 9 1/2 today and they'll fit ok, but this longer size is also wider. Guess I'll fill up the extra space w/a heavier sock. They're made in Indonesia; maybe that's the problem. I'd suggest to others to order at least a half size up.
