These shoes look really cool!! I bought a size 7 M US, and they are true to size. I usually wear size 6 1/2 or 7, this time I chose 7, and they fit perfectly, still have room for thick socks. Other people talked about the size issue a lot. My guess is that, the smaller sizes are true, but there are some problems with larger sizes (like size 9 or 10). Just look closely to previous reviews before you choose a size. About the shoe laces, they are very easy to loose at first, you just need to make them go through the "D" rings and twine more times, then they will be quite stubborn. These are very wide shoes, but the tongues of the shoes stick out a little bit long, with the hard material, they kind of hurt at first. I think they just need to be worn in for a while. Generally speaking, they are very nice shoes, the colour is a little bit lighter than the picture showed (I've got the Gold Cheetah Glitter), but I think that makes them look better. And I just love the style.
