I already had a similar pair of Gola "Spirit" shoes that I bought a couple months ago and they're great. These fit exactly the same way and are perfectly true to size. The thing that really had me wanting to buy these is the fact that they're made in England and I really have to say I expected the quality to be superior to that of shoes made in Asia. I was disappointed. There was an absolutely colossal amount of manufacturer's glue on the bottom of the left shoe where the upper meets the sole. I used a nail file, pencil eraser, and acetone but it was fruitless. I still like the shoes and will be keeping them but if you're expecting these shoes to be made better than their Asian counterparts, forget it.
