text: Really, really wanted to like these. Ordered half size up (9.5 up from 9) and they were difficult to hold on my feet- it took an effort to keep them on my feet as I walked. Otherwise quite comfortable. Sometimes the &#34;city flat&#34; style with the elasticized rubs, but not here. Your feet WILL sweat because the lining is a totally non absorbent plasticky material. Returned for a 9 and they were incredibly tight!! The elastic digs into my heel and the toe box is too short. Crazy amount of size difference for half a size! This is really disappointing, because the pattern is cute, the sole is comfortable, and I really wanted to like them. I would suggest trying on the pair you want to buy in person.
