If you want to wear these without socks you are going to feel that tag and its big! Live in a city where the stand alone Aerosole store closed. Our advice is based on one way trip only and in hopes we feel much differently on the return trip. I already had one of those silicone cases with the characters, (Iron Man) and it was flimsy and always collecting dust, pet hair and God knows what else. Who is figuring it out those sizes, dont they measure the length to determine shoe size equivalents? Now, I have to go through the motion of sending them back and exchange them for the smaller size. All in all it is a very good pirchase Love the silver color. Just dont buy this Highly recommended if needed. Now I am being harassed by someone telling me to delete my review.
