When I opened the package, the shoes looked smaller than I expected and there ARE too small. I own another pair of crocs in the same size, which snugly fit me and they eventually stretched to comfortably fit. On the other hand, this shoe seem way tighter unless you have boney or narrow footed to wear this shoe comfortably. I would recommend to go for a size bigger. I'm keeping them anyway hoping they stretch as it's going to cost me a fortune to return it from overseas.
