LOVE the shoe and the design looks really nice but the sizing is not accurate. I measured my foot with a tape measurer against a wall and I should have fit the size 9 (my usual size), however, when I tried them on, three of my toes touched the end and felt squished/uncomfortable when walking. Which is not what I want in a shoe. I will be exchanging for a larger size but its hard to know if I'll need a 9.5 or a 10 if the sizing chart is off... ?
Many reviews said that they also needed to size up for sure half a size (I didn't read that until after I bought the shoes unfortunately), but it wasn't clear if that was always enough room or if a full size would be too large. And just as other reviews said, the laces are really short and don't tie the easiest. You may want to replace them.
I've attached a few references pictures:
1. The first shows my foot size next to the shoe. To my biggest toe measures exactly 10 inches / 25.5cm
2. The second shows a more accurate size of the insole, noting that almost an inch of space needs to be deducted from the toe length which would put the measurement of the insole around 9.7 inches and 24.7cm.
The size I would probably like and need is 10.4 inches and 26.3cm which according to the sizing chart is a 9.5US/40EU but with the error rate bringing that size down a bit I would still be concerned about them not fitting therefore I think the 10US/41Eu size is the best option to allow for a little wiggle room. I just hope it's not going to be…
