These shoes seemed to be great quality.  Not sure of what European size to purchase as a gift for my husband,  I went online to compare the European sizing to USA sizing.  Size 9 USA men's in this brand was shown to be size 43 EU.  I knew I was taking a chance but counted on being able to return them for a different size.  We were disappointed to see that the toes were much too long.  My husband said they fit great on the rest of his foot and were very comfortable when standing.  The seller did not have the size to swap them out, so it cost additional shipping costs, and the refund was not the original price that I paid even with my Amazon receipt.  This sale cost money, and we still did not get the shoes. Lesson learned.  I should have given my husband a picture to open as the gift and then had him go to a store to try them on.  Online shopping usually works great for me, but this was an exception.  I can only give three stars based on the shoes' feel as we have not yet been able to replace them.
