The shoes are well made. Will last just by looking; strong arch support. BUT if you are a true size. Oh boy. Example - from the given size: say 7-7.5 and then 8-8.5, if your real size is 8 you're screwed. Why? I tried 7-7.5 for small and 8-8.5 for large. It is clear that 7.5-8 should have fit but was not offered.
