text: I have slightly full feet but I have always been able to offset my &#34;tall&#34; feet by ordering a 1/2 size up. This has worked for me for decades with sneakers, boots, dress shoes and sports equipment (skis and hockey skates.) With the Wander Lace Canvas I eventually settled for a size that was a 1/2 size larger and a full size wider to fit in them comfortably.<br /><br />This shoe is really tight in the mid-foot exuding a painful pressure at the base of both &#34;pinkie toes.&#34; I can offset this discomfort with a medium-weight sock but I bought this shoe with the purpose of wearing it casually- With shorts and a light, thin low-profile sock. Nope, not with these puppies. After a half hour wow, my dogs are barking! It feels like someone wrapped one of those lobster claw rubber bands around my foot. All I want to do is take these things off. It took me two resizings to get the fit to work.<br /><br />Conclusion: These shoes look great offering a perfect casual flair to shorts but without the arrogance of Bass Bucks or the peppiness of Sperry Topsiders but sizing will be a challenge if you wear a D size or wider and/ or have full feet. Buy them but be prepared to send them back for a new size.
