I wear a size 9.5 shoe. This size 42 is my 2nd attempt at getting a good fit in this admittedly fabulous style of Ava shoe.

My first pair was green in size 41.  According to their size guide, it should have fit, but it was way too small.  At that time (July 2016), they didn't make a larger size.  I was heartbroken.

In 2017 many styles were finally available in 42 and 43, so I ordered these in size 42.  Though my foot could be wedged into it, the toe box was right up against my toes.  Walking was painful.

I'm about to order another color and am debating whether to order a 42 or 43.  I'm afraid that 43 will be a little big, but 42 is definitely ouch.

A note as to the color combination here (I ordered red and beige)--I don't recommend it.  The light tan side looks weird against a dark color pants, or even jeans.  Also any sock I tried made them look even stranger.  Black socks looked odd against the pale side of the shoe and a nude or tan sock looked weird against the black side.

I was just about to put them in the Goodwill bag, when I thought of one more color combination:  Red socks with beige pants.  Voila!  It works.

Now, if I could just find a size that fits.....
