“I followed the suggestion to pick one size up. My average Bared size is 39 and got a 40 which fits perfectly. The quality of the shoes is great which is even better than some famous brand names. No break in is needed. The black color can go with everything. I would love to buy another pair if there are more color options. One thing to note is the weight of the shoes is on the heavier side due to the chunky outsole. Still give it a 5-star rating~”
