I have high arches and wide feet. So they start out too tight, especially since I don't wear socks with them. I was looking for a replacement for a worn pair of espadrilles and this pair had elastic in two places on the sides while these only had one elastic on top. But after an hour of wearing them at home they seem so stretched. I usually wear 7 shir. or sometimes 7.5 latitude, EU 38. This is 7/37.5 EU. So I think Tom's Rolando style would be better in 7.5. But I keep them because I think they will stretch. I like the canvas material and the dark blue color. I think they will look equally good with shorts, skirts or skinny pants.
