I selected "Fit as expected" because after doing some research I think there is a consensus that these are sized a bit funky and you need to order accordingly. I typically wear a 9.5 in everything from sneakers to snowboard boots, I ordered the 8.5 and they fit perfectly. I only received them today so time will tell how things go, I'll edit my review if I need to later. Also note that I ordered the brown suede and they look exactly like they do in the photos.
