I haven't tried them myself, but i have heard that they are quite small, so maybe order a size up.

Cheap rubbish not fit for purpose. Far too narrow across the forefoot and lack cushioning. Gave me Morton's neuroma (nerve impingement) between the metatarsal bones.

If you’re looking at the Banderos/Bandito shoe, I’d recommend half a size bigger than you normally take. I ordered my normal size and found them compressing my toes together the more the day went on. Returned for half size up and I’ve had no dramas so far after about 10 weeks use.

i found them ok size wise and the best RM have ever given us (apart from some un-tagged dr martin shoes once for going out at night in) as in weight/waterproof but they still cripple me, zero comfort on the sole, feel every pebble you walk on, you need extra insoles for them,
pain definitely not due to the 4.5 to 5 hour walking per day according to dom as he's trying to increase it further :left:
