They look great, and they feel good. I am pretty happy with these shoes. I am always leery of spending this much on shoes but returns though Amazon is a breeze, so I gave these a shot. At first, they are a tad tight, but they "work" in quickly. I was able to moderate the fit by using different socks.I purchased these in anticipation of a business trip to New York. These ended up being the only shoes I wore the whole trip. I walked/ran through airports and around New York. I wouldn't call these walking shoes, so if you have much walking to do, choose something else. However, if you need a stylish shoe that does not torture you, these are it.Only things that concern me is the elastic around the ankles that allow these to be slips on (handy at checkpoints BTW), how long will it last? Other concerns are the arch support or lack thereof. I believe that some aftermarket insoles would solve this problem.Sizing: 41 EU/8 M US. Shoe sizes, where do I start? I wear anything from a 6.5-7.5, and now evidently 8. I have another pair of 7.5 shoes that I am preparing to return because they are WAY too big. These shoes are size eight and are perfect. Width is about right for my feet, and the toe box is not constrained. Heel holds the foot with a minimal slip with the right socks.In conclusion, I like these shoes and would rebuy them.
