I'm a 6 1/2 wide, the 7 fits perfectly... There are no 1/2 sizes anyway. I have suffered with chronic plantar fasciitis for years~ these Fitflops and the Skechers Tone-ups are fantastic, as they exercise your feet (essentially give you PT all day) & they give you arch support and variety in footwear as opposed to being stuck in closed shoes with orthotics all day! I love the thick bottoms/soles, it takes the pressure off of each step and protects you from the elements a bit. I have about 5 pair now! Very valuable and needed purchase for me... as there's not a lot of variety when your feet are achy and flat! LOL! Enjoy! P.S. All this talk about them running large seems odd to me, I first went and tried them on at Nordstroms, they are TRUE TO SIZE! :)
