I wear tight 9.5s and was concerned that the 9.5s might not fit. This shoe fits me perfectly and I ordered my normal size! I have too many shoes and I don't like a lot of what I try on. These are my new favorite sandals! These shoes are easy to put on and stay in place. They fit great and don't slip. I appreciate the closed finger function. The sole is much stronger than I expected. I've used them to work on an outside staircase and my arches have never bothered me. It is great. I'm glad I have these shoes and I hope they will serve you for many years. Try it, I think you will like it too.
