I pick these shoes because they was to my approval. But when I tried these shoes on for the first time, they did not fit my feet. They were tight fit. I measured my feet just before I ordered them from online and I choose a half size bigger(I wear 11 1/2 w, I choose a 12w). So I'm inclined to say that these shoes was sized incorrectly by the manufacture. I suggest to other U.S. customers of Amazon.com to buy bigger if your going to purchase these shoes.
