It's true, these really do run at least one size large and wide! I doubted, since my size 8s often need an 8.5 these days, but these sandals in an 8 looked large and wide like a man's sandal! They were way too wide and too long, and I returned them. I'll reorder in a 7 and hope for the best. The sole felt comfy with support.
Update: I re-ordered the 7, which was too short, and quite "blocky" and unflattering. Also, I disliked the feel of the synthetic lining against my skin. Also, the seller sent me shoes that had a lot of lint and dust on the bottoms (clearly someone had tried them on and returned them, but why not clean the bottoms for the next customer?)
