I usually wear a 101/2 and this was the right size for this style. The shoe has a nice "casual" look and feels sturdy enough to be serviced for a while. They appear to be well made. The leather upper is a little stiff and shiny (at first I thought it was vinyl but as advertised it's leather). The sole is soft, but I'm hoping that the leather upper will soften and give a little more forgiving after a few wears.
