I love these shoes and took my usual size half a size up. However, it turned out to be very tight for my legs, very painful and very uncomfortable. I wore it once and haven't worn it since because of the pain. I would like to return it for another pair that will be a full size larger than my usual size. I think size 10 would be better for me. I usually wear a size 9 and ordered a size 9.5. I also hope that shoe manufacturers will consider making wide sizes like the 9.5W size.
