I really liked this shoe and upon reading other reviews I wasn't sure what to think.
It's always difficult to tell WHO is writing the review... so you never know how much to go off of.

Everyone said to size up, they were all right. I never buy a size 9 shoe.. I am 8-8.5 and the 8.5 was pretty small and a bit narrow.
I have sent for the 9, they are just what I need so I'm praying they fit well and aren't too tight.
