I want to be clear that I love the Merrell Hollyleaf Sandal, and own three of them. The last one I ordered was just about 7 months ago, from Amazon. I decided I needed a spare and ordered another one last week - same color, same size. It's one full size shorter than the previous one! Also a bit looser around the top of the foot, so it's not an 8 that's been mis-labeled a 9. Must be a quality control problem. Oh well, back it goes. Sad.
