This was my first pair of on line shoes that I ordered and I bought the size that I would normally buy here in Australia.  Unfortunately I should have taken more notice of other reviews that mentioned that the shoe was a little small and narrow.  I don't have a wide or long foot and had trouble putting the shoe on.  I have found them to be a bit tight on my right foot causing my toes to cramp.  I have since worn them without socks to stretch them a bit, have not tried them since.  I have gone onto many more sports shoe purchases and have upped by size to US 6.5 which has proven to be much better as it gives the extra width along with the length.  I think the brand is just a small sizing.  Despite of this the shoes are exactly as they appear in the picture and well made, packaging was also good and protective.
