I've always ridden in skateboard shoes, they're a little tight for me, I almost NEVER remember a shoe that at an average 9.5 didn't fit my foot. I'm right in the middle where shoes that are a little smaller still fit well and shoes that are a little larger are fine too. But they were small enough for me to wear but they are tight. I wish it was at least half a size bigger. They look great, well made and I thought they looked just like the website. They came in a flash and at a great price. Grow up a little and you won't regret it.
