Something is definitely wrong with this shoe. I wear a 7.5 but often order size 8 and ordered this shoe in an 8. I immediately noticed there was no zipper to aid in putting on the shoe. I tried sliding my foot in and immediately realized it was going to be impossible. When I put the shoe up against mine side by side, I realized this shoe was really like a size 5! It is at least 3 physical inches shorter than my foot when measured on the back of my foot. This is a manufacturing defect for sure. I like the shoe and the price, but I'm afraid to order another one--I would need a size 10 or 11 if this is a standard issue, but then it could be way too big, so I am timid on trying again. I'll need to think about it.
