I like these shoes, they are comfortable, once you put them on, it's a bit hard work the first time. I would advise getting one size bigger. I ordered a 10.5 and originally a 10.5 and had to send them back for a size 11 which was still a bit tight but once fitted well. These shoes are VERY white, I suggest using duct tape to waterproof the shoes. It is also recommended to wear thin socks so that you can easily put on your shoes. All in all because I love Vans shoes I will order again.
