I wear a US size 12 and bought the 45s. They're a little tight but I only wear them an hour or two a day so they're fine. I wouldn't recommend them for all day wear. Nice shoes.

J'ai vraiment aimer et très confortable

Très confortable et pratique.

I am a US shoe size 10.5, and I ordered a Chinese 45 (as suggested) and they were too big!So I'd suggest going down a size to get a snug fit. (Mine fell off quite easily, even with 2 socks on.)Besides the sizing problems, these are exceptionally made shoes.Update: Re-ordered another pair a full size down, but the seller sent me shoes that were only .5 smaller. So yet again, they fall right off! It is very frustrating to order two shoes in a row that I cannot wear.Important!! - Their sizing chart does not include a mm or inches conversion, which upon further research, seems to be crucial in ordering shoes from Asian countries. So for instance, I learned that my Chinese size is a 43, whereas the chart for these shoes tells me I'm a 45, which was way too big. This is because US shoes have wiggle room for the toes, and traditional Chinese shoes should be snug, heel to toe.Hope this helps anyone, as these are actually worth the price and shipped fairly quickly.

Quality of construction, strong 5 stars. The little tab on the heel is a nice plus, making it easier to pull on the shoes without stretching out the heel. Well made, flexible, the kind of thin soles needed for tai chi (or martial arts). I think I've found my go-to tai chi shoe!Note, these do run slightly smaller than similar cloth shoes of this style - most run large, and I'd say this runs true to American size expectations. Get exactly the size you wear, and I sized down 1/2 size as I wanted them snug and expect them to 'give' a bit during wear. Expect your toe to hit the end of the shoe, unlike how most harder shoes fit -- if you get them larger, you'll end up slipping around in them and that's not what you'll want for tai chi or martial arts.
