Buying shoes on Amazon is a risk. If the manufacturer's sizing has shifted or if a batch of seconds is being off-loaded, you cannot return the shoes without incurring a charge.

These shoes may be quite good, but they were a size smaller than the other NB I own.  If you order, consider bumping your size up a bit.

The following is probably of little consequence, but it would have helped me avoid this particular shoe.  I did not notice online how much silver-toned plastic is used on this shoe.  It definitely would have been the oddest looking shoe I own (but then again, I'm kinda dull).
