This is the only shoe I have ever found where 9.5 fits perfectly, right out of the box. It's a sturdy walking shoe, and my first pair of these got me all over southern Scotland in 2009. Well, not ALL over, but enough. It holds up well, cleans up well and looks good with everything. I've bought my second pair, and I might just buy another to keep on hand when the second wears out in a year or two.
