“Really nice shoes... but”

“This is my first pair of shoes by Josef Seibel. They appear to be made very well and I like the color and style. Unfortunately, they are a bit snugg. I usually wear a size 9 in most shoe brands (an occasional 8.5 in Merrell), so I ordered that size, however, they are very snugg. I thought initially that it was the width being too narrow, but after wearing them a few times, it is apparent that they are too short as well. I wish I had ordered a half size bigger, but I've already started wearing the ones I have, so I'm stuck with them. I definitely would recommend this shoe to somebody else, just be sure you order a 1/2 size bigger.”
