Bought these for my daughter. She is used to wearing Vibrams, so real shoes are usually not comfortable. They do run small, narrow, and are tight in the ankle. Seem to stretch as she is wearing them. Only time will tell if she decides to order another pair. If ordering, go up one size. She usually wears a 40 EU, and a 9 1/2 US. Seem to be made well with good leather.
