This would have been a 5 star shoe for me. But the left shoe is about 1/4 in longer than the right and seems slightly wider. Both seem at least a 1/4 to 1/2 size bigger than an 8. Both were wider the than expected for a "D" width. The right fits with a thick sock but the left is too loose. I think a 7.5 would fit properly, but since not available, I will have to try the next size down a 7. I would also prefer for the instep strap to be adjustable for a really secure fit, but the right fits OK, though loosely, without it. If both would fit like the right, I would keep them and just wear thick socks.

Update after receiving the size 7 (I usually wear an 8.5N). Happy Me. I had ordered the 8 because the (D) width would compensate for the 1/2 size. These shoes run really large. The 7 that I re-ordered fits me perfectly. I still have almost 1/2 inch from my toe to the front edge of the shoe. They feel good and look good. These are still not exactly size matched either, the left is still slightly longer but the instep strap is tighter, so basically good enough. I will wear them for a few days and see if their qualities continue. Buyer Beware - Order 1 size smaller. Otherwise a good shoe and a really great Amazon price.

Update to update. Worn for about 40 hours. Great - very comfortable with or without socks (only minor exception is the elastic at the ankle is a little tight on left shoe), look great, seem durable would be 5 stars if not the sizing problem.
