I received the shoes pretty fast. I love Samba. Restro, classic low-tech sneaker that is very stylish and reasonable. Fits true to size, but is very narrow and long so wide feet may need to go up a half size. I wear 6.5-7 depending on the shoes and I purchased 7 which fits well. I do want to point out that Samba has high heel cover made of stiff material which can rab on your Achilles for some when you walk. I suggest to get a heel raiser and/or heat up the area with hair dryer and move it around to "break in". Other wise very light and comfy shoes
