I am hard to fit and never order shoes on line, but with these specialty shoes I didn't have a choice. I purchased one half size larger than my usual shoe size because my instructor had this size and they had been great for me. I looked hard to find the right size since most companies seem to not have much choice at all in size AND the SUEDE since I thought it would "break in" most easily. They are remarkably comfortable and I have not had a blister at all!
