Love these shoes and the color combo. I'm a woman and I like the men's style sneakers and they look smaller on my feet as I wear a women's size 10. I took the men's size 8.5 because that would be a comparison size. I might have gone for an 8 as I had some room at the top of the toe in the 8.5. I think when wearing socks the fit is fine as it doesn't feel out of place without socks. I plan to get this brand in other styles as well.
