As others have mentioned they do run smaller than actual size so order 1 size higher than normal. Not sure why but someone had drew an X on the top of the toe area on one of the shoes. It was very subtle (no worth returning) but not sure why? Shoes still had original tags and looked brand new.. Overall happy with purchase.I needed arch support fairly basic but very niceThese are for my son. He finds them quite comfortable and likes the black colorI always buy Avia trainers/sneakers, they suit my feet and are great, if I can't get them on Amazon UK, I order them from Amazon US; plus sometimes ordering from the US is cheaper, even allowing for delivery Customs and Tax!Todo excelenteBeware, the size runs small. I suggest ordering at least a half to whole size larger. Otherwise the shoes are great. So light yet so extremely comfortable to wear. I ordered a mens size 10 and wear a mens size 10 and these are at least 9 to 9 1/2 (tag inside tongue stares 10). The size was so uncomfortable that I wore them one day and then gave away due to being too small.They are what I expectedToo cheaply made!
