Bought for my husband. This is a beautiful leather shoe, very sexy and flattering on the foot. Size is the real issue. The Euro-US conversion table is MUCH next to it. I would say at least 1 1/2 to 2 sizes. My husband normally wears a size 9 1/2 to 10. Based on the reviews we settled on 43 euros which was advertised as a men's size 9 to 9.5. BUT they are still too big and although it would be wrong we should reduce the price to 42 euros and not from 8 to 8.5 for men. Once you find the right size, chances are you'll be very satisfied. Very important!
