They seem a little small (Length & width), right shoe-lace only long enough to tie a 1/2 bow. If you care, there are 2 sets of eyelets near the ankle, may be able to skip a set,and gain shoe-lace length, or use the laces from the old shoes.  I ordered 4 brands of 8-1/2 athletic shoes from Amazon, the Skechers seem the tightest. I'll still wear them, hoping they stretch enough to be comfortable for long trips. Very nice shoes, and I have received positive comments on the style and color. Arrived quickly.
