Today I tried on these shoes for the first time for a short walk in the fresh air. I am extremely disappointed. It's very tight. My toe hurts until I have a foot that wide. So my size is 9.5 and these shoes are so tight knit. Now I realized that I should order half an inch more than my actual size - size 10 instead of 9.5. In addition, the skin is so dry that it is not soft at all. The design and looks are very casual and not bad. Update :: I've been wearing these shoes for a while and they are getting softer and better fitting. Now I get addons from friends. I will probably buy them again for my family.
