The fit was not a problem. I got blisters on the inside of my shoes from walking just a few blocks in them. It was literally excruciating to walk in as there was no padding inside to protect my toes as well as a valve tip that cut into my skin. (No, I don't have sensitive skin, I ran over 100 miles at my previous jobs). I don't think they really got people to review these shoes properly. Maybe they were loose or too big. I usually wear an 8.5 but they don't have one so I had to go for a 9 but walking a few blocks down the street in them shouldn't have been that painful anyway.
