These riding shoes are very comfortable. I wear a size 10.5 and have a fairly wide foot. I got the 10.5 and they fit great. I can feel they are a little skinny for a wide foot, but nothing hurts and will break in even better over time. If I went with an 11 I feel they would be to long. At first they seemed hot when not riding (I'm used to vans canvas) but after I got used to them they are only medium warm when not moving. When riding the air flows amazing! The mornings are in the 60s where I am at. I can feel the air on my feet, but they don't get cold. Walking in them is no problem. They are on the skinny side for the sole, but that's not an issue. Wearing them at work seems fine. Not sure how they will be in the summer, but since the days are in the 70s here they feel fine. The ankle cup is right were it should be. I tried a different brand and the cup was under my ankle. These are great shoes. Super happy with the purchase.
