The first pair I ordered a size up as I wear a half size. Wrong decision as they were huge. At least an inch too long so sent them back and ordered a half size down to the smaller size. Perfect. They are very comfortable especially if you have a bunion to deal with or swollen feet. Very nice with the adjustable velcro and for me they give adequate and comfortable support. I am thinking I may order another pair in the black as I like them so well. They are a bit wide but I have narrow feet and the only place the width is wider than I  like is in the heel. Overall a good purchase and happy feet once again. Super fast exchange also.\<br /><br />This is an update  on the replacement pair ordered. The size 8  fit as they should even though I wear ans 81/2. I have a narrow foot so they are a bit wide but with the adjustable velcro closing work out okay.  I find these shoes so comfortable to wear all day. I am very happy with purchase now that we have the sizing figured out.
