This was the second pair I ordered, first pair was a half size larger than what the size chart suggested...I wear a 9 in Merrell, ordered an 8.5 in this and was to big. Second pair ordered an 8 felt like an E width though in a D. Sole was very hard, could not see wearing all day on hard surfaces or hard ground...Seeemed well put together though. Just little to no cushion.
