These shoes are okay. I usually wear converse and I am a size 8. but I was a little skeptical about getting it in the same size, Since last time I got one in my size and I had to return them. I ordered a size 8.5 and it fit me perfect. I would go for a size 9 because the 8.5 fits me, but I can feel that my toes are already touching the inside of the shoe... But I was fine with the 8.5 so I stayed with them.<br />  The shoes are very comfortable, good for couple hours worth of walking before they start to bother. The only thing I don't like about these shoes are the inside. As you can see in the picture its basically nothing. I suggest going to Walmart or whever to buy better or comfortable padding... I guess thats what they call it. over all.. im satisified with what I purchased.
