a lot of people say it feel a half size too small but I think it feel true to both size and width . I receive these shoe and be please to find that there be not any break-in time . I have a job where I walk around for 8 hour straight ; I wear these the first day without any pain later that evening or the next day . there be a adjustable elastic cord that can be tighten , but I think the shoe be more comfortable if they be leave a little loose . I have they tighten one day and notice a pinch sensation after a couple hour of use . another reason to wear they loose be that it make it easier to put they back on if you foot be wet or sweaty they feel like they have very good traction but I be not walk through river with slippery rock so it be not the best test . because these be closed-toe sandal , it create a problem when small rock , sand , or other object get into the shoe . I find that I can not just wiggle my foot around to get rid of the nuisance , I need to take the shoe completely off and dump it out . another thing I notice about these shoe be that it dry out the back of my heel . I only have to apply lotion once to correct the dryness and I have not have a problem since , but it be something to be aware of . overall this be a great sandal and I do not have to worry about stick or other object stab my toe because of the closed-toe feature . I have own these for about a month now and they do not show any sign of wear so I expect they to hold up for a long time . I would not recommend they for walk around on the beach because sand and rock get trap underneath you foot and up in the toe area , but for walk through river and as a casual shoe these be great . one last problem that I just think of be that they be not comfortable for stand around with minimal movement for long period of time . it be possibly just my foot , but anyone interested in these should try they on and stand around for a while to see how they feel .
