"Other reviews I read of these shoes suggested to size down, so I did, but ended up returning and re-ordering my regular 9.5. I bought these to have non-sneaker walking shoes for a trip to Paris this summer. I can tell already they're going to be perfect. They do run a little wide - I would be in trouble without the strap because I have narrow heels. However, that strap has been turning my socks a big orange, so beware of that."
