I held off buying them because of the price, but simply couldn't find that style with the quaintly of materials so I went for it. Not disappointed at all, comfortable, practical and I love the style. I do plan on putting insoles in for a more snugg foot fit. I'm usually a 6 or 6.5. I've tried hushpuppies on before and new they were a snug fit for me so went for a seven and they are the right size.
