From all the posts, I keep hearing a person should go a half size up. I actually got mine in my true true size and now I think Im paranoid that Ive bought them too small. How small is small? I would say mine are comfortably snug. I mean the length on these (pre-break in) seem fine, even though there is some tighness all around, but theres no digging. I dont know if thats what you would want, or not! Ive had some flats in the past that are too big and I just cant stand it! Theres nothing worse than loose flats that pop off. Hmmm...
