As my optimum shoe size is 38 1/2, I ordered these shoes in sizes 38 and 39, color gray (is a very bright gray). This size is a little bigger, so fit size 38 excellent. I have a fairly narrow base, especially in the toe area and therefore often the problem is that in this area too much "air" remains and the shoe then acts as if it were too big and then puckers while running. This shoe is perfect cut! Narrow in the toe area and subtly phased out broad direction bales. Also encounters no seam on the inside of the big toe (which other models is often the case). The cap is subtly enhanced and very pleasant. The shoe surrounds the foot in the area of the opening is also perfect as the top edges not abut the lateral malleolus from below. In the area of heel to edge upwards in the area of the Achilles tendon he also closes cleanly without pressure and without gap. Expresses Tongue and not pinches; can thus be put together quickly and cleanly. Again, it should be mentioned that really good footbed. While it is not removed, but so good that it unilateral my fallen arches supported very well and I have no problems even after spending hours of wearing (I'm temporarily otherwise deposits). The leather is soft. No irritating odor present. Conclusion: After a few wrong orders and fittings in local stores of various brands and models I have hereby found my perfect shoe!
