I ordered a half size down from the size I always wear- a 10. My foot is exactly 10 1/4 inches. The 9.5 was still too long but I suspected a 9 would be slightly short under my long toes so I did not exchange it; just sent it back. My foot also had a tendency to look crooked in the bed of this shoe rather than appear centered and straight. It's as if there were parts of the bed that were just too wide, but rather than looking wide all around/evenly, it was just too wide in a couple areas. My feet are not quite narrow but close. If it had conformed better to my thin feet, it would have been great.
