Nice looking shoes, much darker color than in the picture shown (I bought the bungee cord/port royale). The shoes were very tight and stiff when I wore them for the first time. After a few hours, they got better but not much. Some reviews said the shoes ran smaller, I didn't find that to be the case. I ordered an 8.5 which is what I normally wear and the size was fine. I just think that because they are so tight, they feel smaller. Like I said, nice looking shoes, but I don't think they're very comfortable. I bought them for a trip and I'm not sure I'll be taking them with me.
