"I have been wearing normal 442's religiously for the past 9 years. I have always worn the regular lace up kind and I just love the way they fit. I have a narrow, long foot and I love the way they fit. I thought I'd love the slip-ons just as much. I ordered the exact same size that I wear in the regular lace-up, 9.5, and they fit terribly. :( The cut off circulation on the top of my foot from the tightness of the elastic bands. They also didn't hold my foot very securely. I went for a 15 minute walk in them on a sidewalk and ended up with blisters on the back on my feet. I was so disappointed with this product. I do have long feet, but they're very narrow. I can't imagine how uncomfortable these would be for someone who's foot is average width. Bottom line: I wouldn't buy these without being able to try them on in person. I returned mine and wasted about $20 in DSW rewards certificates."
