"The first pair was slightly longer. I normally wear 9.5 (42.5), I had to exchange for a 9 (the european size was note listed in the shoe) which worked out perfectly. The insole is very comfortable. For a wide feet/flat footed chap this worked out just fine for me. I am not sure how durable they will be. I also like the quilted vamp as it gives room for air/circulation."
