text: I am size 7.5 with long toes. I often have to wear size 8. I ordered size 7. 5. They fit very snug, but I like it that way. The toes come right to the edge but not over.<br />The straps I found irritating for the first 10 minutes but got used to them and now I don't even notice them.<br /><br />Excellent sole, nice grip.<br /><br />One thing I don't like: the strap is too short. When I let it out completely it fits my foot, but snugly. I guess I have high foot ridge. It makes it hard to put the shoe on as well. I guess I could have just as easily gotten size 8.<br /><br />Like these a lot. Used them all weekend scrambling up creeks and mossy rocks and had excellent grip.
