You'll probably take a half size smaller - I've invested in 5 pairs of shoes from there the last month - and the fit is unique.

They also have shoes (a pair of loafers I bought) that they can change the orthotic for your specific foot issue.

If you CAN get in there - go. You will do a step test which helps them find the perfect fit!
