I ordered a size 8 (UK) as it was supposed to be a size 9 in the US. All my moccasins are 9.5. It's still huge to me. They are well stitched and sewn well, no smell. I bought heel pads to smooth out the flex when walking but they are big in the middle. These shoes are perfect for those with a high instep. Nearly perfect. If only they had more sizes.
