If you really want to get these shoes, from an adult male standpoint, the AJ1 mid and the AJ1 mid SE fit differently. First, the AJ1 mid will allow stretch as you wear , so you can go TTS, however, the AJ1 mid SE made with patented leather(Polyurethane) looks a lot more fashionable but it want stretch much to provide comfortablility in the toe box. Form my purchase experience, I would go up a half size with the Mid SE patent leathers unless you have really skinny feet(narrow).
