Based on how this item fits majority of people said it was somewhat small or too small so I bought a 9 rather than an 8. My shoe size is normally an 8 1/2 and UGG boots and slippers fit me in a 9. This sandal was much too big for me and were extremely uncomfortable even for the few minutes it took to try them on inside. I don't have any issues with the pricing of UGG footwear but I want to be able to wear them without my feet hurting. The style and color is really nice but thats about all I can say thats positive. I have a medium width and normal arches but I would say that these are a bit more narrow than some of the other styles.
