The length of the shoe isn't the issue. However, for me, its too loose at the toes and my ankle strap does not hold on to my ankle. It feels as if the shoes are too big but they are not. I will return. Im afraid to go down a size because my toes will stick off the shoe sole. I give it 5 stars because they are well made, comfortable, the material is great. I believe they are true to size, with the exception that it may not fit some feet, like mine.
