I bought this pair in a size 9 since Im in between (8 1/2) thinking it would be better than going down to an 8. They are very large in every aspect and I returned them immediately. I have Cole Haan sneakers and boots that fit me perfectly and are really comfortable. I might have tried getting them in an 8 but these weren't quite as comfy as my other Cole Haans. The pair I received from the seller was in a filthy box and had rubber bands holding the top to the bottom! For the price of these sandals I would expect them to arrive in much better shape than they did. I didn't wear them for more than a minute just to see how they fit but they also didn't seem to be too comfortable to walk around in for any length of time.
