4.5
This has been a great shoe for me so far, but it was hard to get my size. I have worn a 41/US 10 for forever, but have recently found my foot has lengthened out, probably my very high arches flattening in middle age! I have had luck with a 10.5/42 in other sizes, but this shoe was a little too tight for me at 42. I wanted to wear it with socks and not get blisters. I went up to a 43 and am very happy. It is a little loose around the heel and toe, but that suits my feet which tend to blister. I do not know if this will help anyone, but I am glad I took the trouble to return and size up, even twice!I like the look of the shoe. The material is sort of shiny but not in an obnoxious way. The color on the black is not very noticeable and is kind of fun! I am not sure how this material will be in hotter weather, but in winter rains of the PNW it has been totally fine. My feet stay dry and feel warm enough with socks. It is a very lightweight shoe and the thin material is super comfortable if you have sensitive feet!I have terrible luck with shoes, so the fact these are comfortable right away is a huge win for me. If anything drastic changes I will update!
