The 'Cushe' brand is one I love-in Men's! I have gotten several pairs of this brand in the 'Female' line; and none of them are sized the same. Have gotten 8.5's in another style that were way too small; this Bonsai is too big in the 9; both in the length; and the ankles! Quality made as all of their shoes; this pair is not as 'cushy' as I would have expected! Gave them away!
