The tie is actually 39. so if you are an 8.5 US these should fit you. They are in great condition please know that I have had a red sole protection cover over the original soles, not because of any significant damage, I did it so the red color on the bottom would look better longer and to protect the sole. The color of the shoe is a slightly rose tinted nude color. Please look at the photos carefully, they are in great shape, with subtle signs of wear. Comes with the original shoe bag and box.
