First I must say I own two other pairs of Jambus (clog style) and absolutely love them. I ordered these, expecting to love them too, but...the fit on these shoes is a bit strange in the ankle area, so I will need to return them. The length is true to size - I wear my normal 7.5 - but the part where it comes up over the top of the foot was very loose on me. It gapped strangely and although not uncomfortable, it looked pretty weird. I will say I am a thin build and have a thinner foot, so maybe if you have a thicker top of foot near the ankle these will work well for you. I tried adjusting the back strap but the top still had a huge hap between the shoe and my foot. The gold color is pretty, and striking! WIsh they would have fit better. I'll keep trying Jambus though due to my other good experiences.
