Great shoe
I followed Rancourt's advice to size down and when the shoes arrived they were very tight and I was skeptical but after wearing for a short time they did begin to stretch out more than I thought they would. The upper/vamp remained tight but I stored the shoe with shoe trees inserted for a couple of days and that seemed to help stretch that area out pretty nicely. I've had the shoes for about a month now and have worn them quite a bit and they just get more and more comfortable.
