From the reviews of these shoes, some people said that they were too large and others said that they fit fine. I think that the reason for the discrepancy is due to the use case for the shoe. I found that these shoes were definitely too large at my normal shoe size for indoor soccer. I want my indoor shoes to be very snug on my feet so my feet are not sliding around inside the shoe. I have returned my pair for a half size smaller.<br />However, for casual use (not indoor soccer) the normal shoe size should be perfectly fine.<br />That being said, the shoes are very comfortable. Its been a long time since I've used kangaroo leather shoes. They also have a great 80's throwback look.
