These shoes are very big, I wear size. 39 - in these shoes ranges the smaller size. The material is very soft, the fleece lining a dream and the sole absorbs any unevenness ab playing - even unangehmes cobblestones. The comfort is also given after a long workday. I do not have the impression that these are boots, they feel like slippers. A real pleasure, especially with a high instep. I highly recommend these shoes - winter can come as they are also wonderfully warm.
