I bought this shoe while I was in the United States of America. The person at the Fast Lane Store knew my needs and recommended this type of shoe. It was amazing and amazingly fit. After graduating and returning to my home country, I struggled to find this model in local retail stores, but to no avail. I ordered this item in the same size and model but of course in a different color and as expected it is worth every penny. My general recommendation is that when buying shoes online, try to buy the same model at your local store so you know your needs.
