I ordered these shoes a 1/2 size larger in preparation for it to be tad bit big with socks would have been comfortable. Had an event to go to and the shoes showed up the day before the event. I ordered a size 9 and the shoe is too snug and too tight. Had to wear the shoe the next day was very uncomfortable and now cant return. This is the worst ever. There is no way in the world this is a USA size 9. The website stated US size 9. This is whole reason I ordered a size up. Wont be ordering this every again. If you are trying to order shoes, stop and think about it first.
