1. Ordered an 8.5 because I read these run small. Got them, tried them on, and they were way too tight. I wear an 8 so this seemed odd.
2. An 8 was sent in an 8.5 box but I don't think the 8.5 would have fit either. These 8s are almsot like a 7.
3. Maybe order up an entire size. I'll have to return these.
