LOVE these shoes.  First, I am a runner, but I bought these for knock-around shoes because I loved the look.  After wearing them for a few weeks love is the only word I have to describe them.  They are true to size (I'm a size 9, wear a 9.5 running shoe), I ordered size 9 and they're perfect - if I was going to run in them I would order my normal 1/2 size up.  It seems that every time I wear these shoes in public, someone complements them.  Just FYI - these are minimalist shoes so it might take you several wearings to get used to no cushioning.  Did I mention that I LOVE these shoes!?
