I had a pair of TUKs back in the early 90s and loved them so much I wore them until they fell apart at a concert (fortunately got electrical tape from a security guard to tape them up for the night 🤣). When I saw an ad on social media I thought “why not?”. I normally wear a women’s 10–10.5 but sized up to an 11 just to be safe. When the shoes arrived they were much lighter weight than the pair I had years ago and the soles felt like a different rubber. I can’t remember if my original pair was leather but I’m thinking they were. I’m ok with the vegan leather and the lighter weight shoe, however, when I put the shoes on they were very tight. And I had in a very thin pair of socks. In my opinion, these shoes run very small. I really don’t want to go thru the hassle of return and ordering a 12 (😳😳) so I’ll keep this pair and hope I can break them in a bit. Other than that, they are very cute and well made.
