They are not as soft as I'd like on the inside with the seams. The sizing is true. I'm a straight size 7 and ordered that... perfect fit. I wore them in with very thin socks and after that they felt great on my feet barefoot as well. The first pair I ordered, one shoe's suede was hard... really hard on the outside and tip in the inside and smaller, so I exchanged them without issues and nothing was wrong with the replacement pair.
