When they got here they were too big. I kept them because I really just needed a new pair of shoes that day. I ended up having to add extra holes to the buckle straps and they still weren't tight enough. I'm normally a 10 and the a e felt like an 11. They zipper eventually gave out on one because of the adjustment I made to the buckle straps by adding tighter holes. It bent the zipper track and over time it just came off.Long story short. Don't count on these being your perfect size. I know a lot of people here say they fit perfect, but for me that was not the case. I used to teach ballroom dance and I know a European sized shoe when I see one.
