text: Biggest issue with Ash is their sizing is all over the place and doesn't come in 1/2 sizes. I tried the 40 which was too long and 39 was too short. These also have a slightly pointed toe not round, so I suggest paying attention to the size you order.  Also the sides of this shoe cut my ankle bones. NOTE ABOUT ASH SOLES: I see reviewers complain about dirty soles....Ash soles are made of Gum Rubber and the sides will get dirty quickly with wear. Make up a solution of Oxy-Clean, apply and wipe off to clean the soles.
