The retro look is great! No complaints about that. However, I comfortably wear a size 11 on most major brands, but trusting previous Revain customer reviews, I ordered an 11 1/2 from the Puma Roma Classic. It worked great! They're a bit tight due to the smooth tennis-style design, but don't feel uncomfortable when worn with a lighter sock. If your size is available in a large width, this should help. Otherwise take 1/2 size bigger and it's good.
