I too was hopeful for a good fit from several other reviewer's reviews.  I had to go one size bigger (13) thinking it would be better than a 12, which would be my US size.  And I need a B width.  12 1/2 is usually perfect for the imported shoes.  Unfortunately, it's next to impossible to get width and length to agree in that size.  In any case, these sandals would be great if there were less volume in the foot.  And because of the large volume, the strap wouldn't pull any tighter.  So I even tried Spenco backpacking insoles, and no go.  So, back they went.  I don't think you could find a better price for this quality.  And beware, that these are sent from Chicago, it cost $18.29 or $16.15 to return.  UPS or USPS in that order.
