The length of these was way off for a size 8, which almost always fit perfectly. There was about 1 1/2 inches too much length. The strap across the foot was very short, which made it almost too tight. I admit I have a slightly high arch and instep so this could have been my feet and not so much the shoe. But these did not feel soft on the foot--the soles and upper shoe feel too hard. These might work for a younger foot but these old puppies need more comfort than this. I'm returning, which Amazon makes an easy process.
