I read the reviews stating that these ran small. My husband is sure he is still 8 and a half so nine was plenty big but I suspect he is actually a 9, I know i am a size 9 in mens now....but ordered the size 9. Well they indeed were a bit tight but truely were a tight 9 and this is what you want in a moccasin,

Moccasins are made to conform to your foot, you can ease this process by light spraying of alcohol and water but there was no need for that. I can fit in them as an almost true size 9.

These are difficult to tell the left foot from the right foot and if you put them on wrong, they feel even tighter. To distinguish between the right and left feet, i have to turn them over and look for what looks like a foot arch. After a few days of owning them, my husband would just slip them on and if they felt wrong switch feet.

These are exactly what I wanted, they are incredibly comfortable.
