Unlike other recessions I think precisely the size of the shoe. I wear the shoes from the start with no pressure points almost every day for a week. Those like me who relies on intermediate variables, which may well judge. The size 43 is usually a bit too small and at 44 fits almost one finger behind the verses. Since I bought the shoes on offer, the price-performance ratio is very good in my case. The processing of the shoe is of high quality. The width of the shoe is normal - narrow. Rather not for wide feet. Whether the Geox plastic sole inhaled, may be debatable. For me it was not a selling point. Here the range of products with intermediate sizes was more decisive. Sweaty feet I do not get with normal cotton socks with leather shoes (again).
