I normally wear 6.5 D US, but this one even at 7 D was tough to put on. Leather was definitely rigid as another reviewer had written. 'Made the mistake of trying it on without socks and the &#34;tongue&#34; scraped the top of my foot. The leather's surface also had some uneven spots - like scars from an injury.<br /><br />Still, glad to have only paid about a third of the list price. Looks nice from a distance. Definitely not walking around downtown with these though.
