Based on reviews, I went up in size from my usual (U.S. 11) to a U.S. 11.5, 46 Euro, getting an extremely comfortable shoe for walking around and morning exercise. The exterior sole is very solid, thick and hard, though the insole is soft where it should be an supporting where needed. It arrived in a tight plastic hard shrink wrap, not a shoe box, but it was adequately protected in shipping. And I adore the rainbow color.A few weird items of note, especially from the attached tag that says it is a shoe for trail running, which is not something I do:1. The solid, thick bottom is a bit heavier than runners might prefer, though this is irrelevant for my uses.2. The tag also says "avoid dampness," "do not expose to the sun for a long time," and "not above 30 degrees" (Centigrade, which is mid-80s by that American method). This can be done only if it is limited to use on an indoor track or maybe while sleeping. Of course, living in a very hot & humid climate, I'll ignore this.3. At the Amazon web pages when I ordered, there was another brand for a few cents less in price, though this other listing used the exact same descriptions and pictures as Kricely, even showing the Kricely name on the shoes pictured. I have no idea what is going on, if it is a knock-off or what.4. Compared next to my other canvas-sneaker-style shoes, the added size seems to provide a bit more width instead of length, so the larger size doesn't make it a loose fit. Works good for me.I'll admit, I could almost say 5 stars. But who'd read that? And there are so many reviews, my single four wouldn't influence the averages.
