  • great shoes but I'm confused :-(

    I love these sneakers, they look so good but for me the problem is 9.5 is too tight in width and 10 is too loose in length. I have tried both 9.5 and 10 but i am so disappointed by this situation. I really want to buy 2 pairs. I wish it was slightly wider. Some people say it becomes loose with wear cz it is leather, i am not even sure if its real leather. I love them but i dont know what to do.
