I bought 2 pairs of these boots. I was very hesitant to buy shoes without trying them on despite the fact that I own several pairs of the FitFlop flip flops. One pair arrived damaged which I promptly returned and was refunded. I ordered a size 9 which is the size I wear in the flip flops but the boots were still too large. I consider myself a 8 1/2 and the 9 works with the flip flops but not with the boots. They were way too big. I ended up giving them to my mother and she loves them. Ordered a 8 in the mukluks and those are just a dream to wear! Will be ordering more boots in the future...Just waiting on the prices to decrease.
