I was looking for cool shoes. However, my US9 shoes are very narrow compared to shoes of the same size. I'm surprised it was tight because I actually went to a physical store to try it first. It takes some time for the skin to stretch and conform to the leg. I can imagine that eventually they will fit well and the sole is really very comfortable, but now I have to put up with restricted circulation in my foot and blisters on my toes. It is probably better to choose wide shoes.
