I've bought a dozen or more of these over the years. My 9.5ft is the same as the standard 9.5m so I'm lucky and can buy shoes online or walk from a shoe store in 20 minutes as 9.5m is always perfect for me. The quality is still excellent. If you are sure that they suit you, it is highly recommended. I buy together with metal rings for shoelaces; otherwise the "hole" will burst. And buy laces the same day you open the box because their laces always "break" or "break" long before the shoe needs to be replaced.
