I purchased these hoping they would be a comfortable shoe to wear on a daily basis- and they have worked out wonderfully. I went up a half size from my usual size as other reviewers recommended, and the shoes are a good fit. I tend to be between 7 1/2 and 8, so I ordered the 8 and found the shoes just slightly long, but totally comfortable and not a problem at all. I look forward to cool winter days so I can wear them!
