    Promising review: "I'm a size 10.5 in women's and bought a size 11. I was worried that they would be too big, but they fit perfectly! Lots of room and looks and feels great. I still have trouble adjusting the straps to where I feel comfortable, but that might just take time for me to figure what's too tight and too loose. They're very comfy, and I totally recommend them. I walked over 10,000 steps when I bought them, and my feet didn't feel tired at all." —Kindle Customer
