I was looking for casual shoes with flat pedals that don't look like flat pedal shoes. Not only are they great to ride, but they look great too. I'm usually on the borderline between 10 and 10.5 so I got 10 as some have mentioned that they are a bit big. 10 suits me perfectly. If I could complain about anything, it's that they're a bit tight in the tow box (think Nike or Brooks) but not uncomfortable at all. I might buy a second pair when they wear out!
