I love these, I have a few other types of matte brown leather sketches and I love the way they look. The problem is that all my other sketchers fit my size (8.5) well, but these don't fit well. Not painfully tight, but tighter than any of my other sketchers of the same size. They were badly rubbed off on one shoe. It's okay but I like to keep them in good condition so one of them already looks like I've worn them quite a bit. As said, it doesn't really matter, but the look of matte skin really shines when it's at its best. I measured them slightly narrower than your normal size in width and height. You may need to order a width or half a size larger than your usual shoe size.
