text: Reviews on this item warned of sizing being 1/2 size too small as compared to what you would normally order.  The reviews were correct.  I first ordered my regular size and upon trying them found there was not room whatsoever in the toe box which would have resulted in foot problems; rest of the fit was good.  I used to really like Sketchers, so I requested an exchange of the same shoe a 1/2 size larger (per the earlier reviews) thinking this would fix the problem.  The exchanged shoes were as bad as the first, only this time too roomy in the toe box and the overall feel of the shoe; again promising foot problems if worn for any kind of active wear.  In the end, I returned the shoes for refund.  I am really disappointed with Sketchers.  I used to buy their shoes in a size 9 normal width, and they fit like a glove.  I have run into this sizing problem with Sketchers the past 2 or 3 pairs I have tried.  I'm afraid I will have to give up on Sketchers and pay a little more for better made shoes.
