ORIGINAL:
I am now on my 2nd refund/3rd order. All reviews said to size down. DONT. Normal shoe size 10.5, ordered 9.5 expecting them to be larger than a usual 9.5 and stretch (based on all the reviews). Several inches too short. Ordered 10.5s, still cant even fit foot in completely. Will update review once I finally get a pair that fits....
Like others have suggested, get these a size or a size and a half below your street shoes. Ideally, try them out in person before buying online, and go for a fit that is as snug as comfortable--like all leather shoes, these will stretch.
