I love Avia shoes, but... I tried on a pair of the same shoe in a local department store, to make sure I had the sizing correct, and then ordered that size from Amazon. My mistake was trusting the Amazon description (which said "accurate sizing") instead of trusting the plethora of customer feedback (that pretty much all said NOT to trust the sizing as listed). Now I'm returning the shoes for a larger size. Believe the customer reviews, not the product description!
