I still give the shoes themselves a 5, but contrary to the reviews (which I strictly consider when shopping), I'm returning the 10.5 I bought to reflect my actual size 10 to obtain. I actually listened to what the reviews said about these shoes running small and should be a half size up so of course I did and my feet are not good for blisters. Just trust your intuition and get your real size. They really fit. I think all the reviews about getting taller just have weird foot shapes and sizes.
