Nice looking shoes. Too small. Too tight and tight on the fingers. They are made too small. I ordered 10.5 which is half the usual size and it looks like I really need 11.5 to get the right fit. The forefoot tapers inward and becomes too narrow at the toes. When ordering I would say order at least one size up from normal unless you have very narrow feet then your normal size might just be perfect. The material is very strong and tough. I think it will soften a bit over time. Overall not a very good shoe.
