When others review their purchases they sometimes forget that beyond their glee in getting a fine fitting shoe, that it would be a tremendous help to know how it fits. I am a size 10 but could use a 10 1/2. I can't always find fashionable shoes in that size. The other fashionable people have already bought them. So I opted for a try at the 10 1/2M. The first time I put the shoe on it felt good. The toe is square and roomy, I can slip it on without bending the backs down into my heel. They are light enough that I am not weighed down. I stand and walk for 8 1/2  to 9 hours every day almost never sitting at my job. My feet DON"T hurt. A 62 year old needs to rely on a great shoe to get through a weeks work. The price is more than I would normally pay considering that I could buy a tire for the same price for my car but it truly is a good investment for my happy feet.
