I have been wanting these shoes for years now and finally ordered them. My shoe size is 6.5, and even though all the other reviews said they run large I still went with a 6.5. They were MUCH TOO SNUG. I had thin socks on when I tried them on and still couldn't even walk in them. I returned them for the 7 and am now very happy! They're a smidge longer than what Im used to (due to the 7 not 6.5) but well worth the 1/2" difference!!! I have other Clarks shoes and have found that they all run a bit narrow and after looking in my closet I've always had to go up to a 7 in Clarks-go figure. My foot size is not a wide width or even odly shaped-I guess its just the brand as Clarks is the only one I've found like that. The shoe is exactley what I expected and cant wait to wear them to work Monday.
