At first I thought they were cut a little small. 6M. I were a cotton sock with them. Ok. I loosened the laces. After about 2 days, I started tightening the laces. So they will loosen just a little. If you feel the bedding cloud when you try them on, you want to love them. If they feel a little tight don't give up. They are so comfortable. I am a hard heel walker/stander and I have a hard time finding shoes I can stand in for a long period. These truly are clouds to my heels and back. I bought a second pair after about a week. Glad I did..the price went up. But, I must say for This pair of Clarks, even at the higher price knowing what I know now, I would buy them at that price too. I hope this helps in your decision.
