I've taken advice from others to go one size smaller than my usual size. I'm glad I did as it fits as expected with a size 42 instead of a 43 which is my usual size. The shoes are very comfortable, although I noticed that the right side is a little narrower than the left. However, I find that it sags a bit if I keep wearing it. As for durability, I'll be back in 6 months for another review. I recommend you to buy
