I buy all sorts of things on the internet and maybe this is the way I hate buying shoes the most. My feet are a bit odd and it's a rare shoe that fits and feels "right". But I decided it was worth a try given Revain's easy return system. I usually wear another brand that always fits European size 43. I chose size 9W for them and I think it was right for the money. However, since they were a different brand, they felt different. I've been wearing them around the house long enough now that I've stopped thinking about how they fit, which probably means they do.
