maybe i just don't like a croc or textured style all over a shoe.  a small portion, yes, but all over, no.  why ruin a good shoe like that?  i thought they were ugly.  i got them in 6 and in 5.5 and they were both too small.  the 6.5 would probably have been too big, but seeing how i didn't like the shoes anyway, it doesn't matter.
