First when I say fit as expected they ran long but I knew that before buying them. I'm an 8 1/2 wide there was no way an 8 was going to fit my wide foot so I didn't bother trying. And I'm ok with that I'd rather have a bit of extra length than have my foot roll off the sides and hurt myself. That said, I am in love with these shoes, my feet always ache after standing for long periods but since I got these no more sore feet!
Now I wasn't paying attention the first time I  put them on i was so excited i just slipped my foot in and I kept looking at it thinking something wasn't right then I remembered someone posting about the strap being under the shoe - total duh moment - but once I realized I had them on quick as a bunny.
They're holding up great I know some people said they broke after a few wears this is the only shoe I've been wearing for weeks even in an inch of snow and they've held up perfectly. I believe someone else posted they thought they were a bit slippery, as I said I've worn they in snow and been fine but that's just me. I also read the fabric between the toes was thick, I did not find that to be true with the pair I received.
Like anything you buy sight unseen, you take a chance as much as I loved them the minute I put them on after reading the reviews I wore mine around the house for hrs before deciding I was keeping them and wearing them outside.
