I ordered shoes in the same size I wear (11) even though I was told to order one size up. I know for a fact that 12 would be too loose. I have a narrow capacity, maybe that's why it fits so well. As for the style of the show, THEY ARE AMAZING! The color is the same as the picture (with some differences in low light). I get lots of compliments when I wear them. A little remark. Don't wear long without insoles. I wore them to an event for about four hours and they started fraying on my bows.
