Klogs are a great investment. I save my amazon points and apply them when I buy them also. They are comfortable for all day wear in a classroom and all day excursions. I have suffered from plantar fascitis and this shoe is one of the main reasons I don't have symptoms now. They are a good fit. I wear a 9 -9+ and the 40 is perfect. The heel bed seems wider but I can actually wear socks with them. Oiled black is a subtle color and I wear them with jeans or khaki type pants.
