as far as sizing, i normally wear 9, but get 9.5. good thing because 9.5 fit right with a tiny bit of room at the toe. so i guess you can say it runs to exact and if you like a bit of wiggle room or thick soxs, get a half size bigger. i also found the inner sole to be a bit flat so i put an insert so that made it fit perfect. i liked it a lot so i bought another pair in all black.
