Everyone was right! Take a size up! I'm glad I did. The shoes themselves are moderately comfortable. They are a little tight on the inside at the ball of the big toe where the design is well stitched to the front of the laces. The shoes feel hard, maybe they will break with some wear. I think they are worth it but I will not buy them a second time like I usually do with shoes I like.
