I usually stock campus and samba shoes but they were nice shoes so I chose them. The Gazelle is a little more streamlined than the Samba, so the toe box and overall fit is *slightly* tighter than the Samba and a lot tighter than the Campus big toe. Here's the bottom line - a sleek little shoe, but not as snug as the Adidas wrestling shoe, but snugger than the Samba (barely) and the Campus (much snugger). I wear a US men's size 11 in both Campus and Samba and it fits a size 11 well - I don't feel I need to go to a size 11.5 US.
