I have three pairs of these shoes, and each pair has been perfect. I wear 7 1/2, so ordered an 8 per other reviews. Very roomy, but I do have a moderately narrow foot; zipper works well, and ankle straps fit just right. I also have the striped fabric model, and they are made well. I hesitated at getting the denim ones, however, because the picture in the ad seems to show fraying along the zipper.
