My foot size is small, a size 7. The shoes fit perfectly! No break-in time or shoe stretcher needed! Comfy like an old pair of shoes from day one. Heel doesn’t slip and toes have plenty of room. To those comments concerning the thin soles and feeling gravel-Gracious! These are not hiking boots! They’re dress/casual boots! They are well made enough, in my opinion , to hold up in any situation. I previously ordered a pair of Chelsea type boots at half the prize of these boots and I’m still trying to stretch them in the right places to be comfortable plus a heel sliding issue. So, you get what you pay for! Bite the bullet and get these. You’ll actually save money in the long run! …..I went ahead and ordered the other 2 colors before they run out. my size.
