The size is fine, the same as the last pair I ordered a couple of years ago, but the material is not as soft as the last pair.  It may be that they soften as I wear them and they were a little plastic smelly when I received them and haven't worn them much yet.  When I ordered the last pair from the Crocs site they were sent in a box.. this pair was sent in a bag and they were attached by that little hanger that you find when they are sold at a retail store, like Sportco.  I doubt that they mfr two of the same product with different material, but maybe these shoes were hanging in a store for a while.  If, after wearing them for a while, they soften up I'll report back.  But as it is, these shoes aren't any softer then the Beach style I ordered from the Crocs site last summer.
