In short I like these boots. They look better in person than they do in the photos. I wear a 9 1/2 tennis shoe and per recommendations from online reviews I ordered these boots in a 10. I had to add insoles and adjust the laces to get them to fit. They are still slightly loose and I may need to add a shim under the insoles. These are the first platform shoes I have ever worn and I find them fairly easy to walk in. I wish they came in half sizes.
