I had high hopes for these shoes but feel a bit disappointed by the sizing.
Ordinarily, my size is 7.5-sometimes 8: and the 7.5 fits quite large in the front-very roomy...but Sizing down doesn't seem a likely option. Here's Why:

The arch does not sit at my arch. Rather, it feels like the arch sits at the end of my heel and this may not be tolerable. It's probably due to the funky heel.

Similarly, the charcoal grey seems off-color and mottled. The heel looks like it could use some varnish because it is dried up and worn. I can't tell whether it is intended to be that way-but I do know this:

For the price-these shoes offer only funk...no comfort and no quality of materials.
Could be Amazon's habit of selling seconds-could be the style: but I am not sold.
I just do not have any funky $ to spare.
I did order a second pair in a different color: I'll report on the quality when they arrive.

So-this is an update. I wore the shoes for 3 hours while cleaning up around the house-(trying to use my feet as usual). Something cracked in my foot-right where the heel doesn't fit. Oh no-these are dangerous.
