I love my natives. I did struggle with the sizing as I have very wide feet, bunions, and little shoe options always. So annoying.  However, my kids love their natives and I wanted to have my own. Im a nanny and I need hassle free, universal shoes so I can be ready for whatever is in store for me. Im usually in between size 7.5 and 8. The 8 is almost always too long for me but I need it for the width. Anyway, I had ordered a 7 first - too tight. The 8 was so much better. Since my feet are wide it took a few days to break in, but it finally gave. I hope if you have wide feet like me, this helps you with sizing! Id stick to your normal size. Even with my kids- I had to stick to their current actual sizes are getting the next size was really too big. They flop around and the back comes up.
