The actual size is a bit large from (have 44 ordered what I normally "just so" fits, but 1cm here at the shoe is too large) so I'd ecologically minded purchasers - who do not want "sample order" equal to 2 sizes - to advise the doubt more likely to choose the smaller number. There quality to the brand with the eagle only one word to say: top! It is not a cheap Chinese plastic used but natural rubber, to the shoes are made entirely in France. The packaging (who at shoes lays emphasis) is ahnsehnlich and high quality, plus there's a small booklet with information. The water permeability is absolutely zero and the sole is comfortable to wear. All in all, a strong buy recommendation!
