Bought these to wear to a friends wedding and ordered the size I typically buy for the Cobb Hill brand, but they were slightly too large.  Ended up stopping at my local shoe store that does repairs and they put a piece of cork under the ball of my foot to help push my foot back further in the shoe; also put heel strips in the back to keep my heel in place.  I have really wide, flat feet and suffer from plantar fasciitis flare ups occasionally, so I was only able to wear them for about 5-6 hours before my feet told me they had enough - thankfully, the ceremony part of the wedding allowed me to wear hiking boots as the couple got married on a mountain.  These would probably be fine for a &#34;normal&#34; person who doesn't suffer from foot issues.
