Let my start by saying, that the old, gender-neutral sizing never worked for me. For the old sizing, I own no pairs of Crocs but have tried many models. I was really excited when Crocs came out with women's sizing because because there were now shoes that actually fit me! In the new woman's sizing in Crocs, I have about six pairs in size 8, and three of those pairs are wedges. Each pair fits perfectly, except for this one!

I typically wear a dress shoe in 8.5 but can also wear an 8 Wide. Basically, my foot is an 8 in length but a 8W at the ball of foot. Based on the reviews, I ordered a 9 in the Farrah. The 9 is the correct size for the ball of my foot. However, the length is definitely a 9 and the arch is in the wrong place. I can wear the shoes, but it is not the right fit for me. I ordered two pairs. Due to length and arch, I reluctantly returned one pair but keep another because the color is perfect for me. I am already regretting the "keep" decisions - I just won't wear these because the fit is all wrong!

There are two reasons people are having trouble with this shoe. (1) The ball of foot is a bit on the narrow side, and people are complaining of pinched toes and blisters. (2) The straps is a bit short, at least a half size, perhaps a full size, so people are complaining about the fit at the heel.

It's a great looking shoe - light, comfortable, easy to wear. However, the fit & sizing are all wrong, in my opinion. If you have a narrow foot at the ball, I think you could wear this one in your true size. Otherwise, I would pass.
