I usually read a lot of reviews before buying stuff but this time I put these in my wish list and ended up buying them on a whim. When I first got them I was shocked how tight they felt. I ordered my same Sanuk size as usual but they seemed much tighter. I thought maybe they sent me the wrong size by mistake but they were printed with the right size. Also my feet run on the wider side but I usually don't have to buy wide shoes, as long as they don't run narrow I am fine. So I wore them around and after a very short break in period they are perfect. I can wear them all day just like my  other Sanuks. I didn't like the hemp soles at first but now I don't even notice them. I'm glad I took a chance on these, they are incredibly cute and since they are hemp they should be extra durable. They feel thicker than the usual material Sanuks use. Also these have some silver reflective thread sewn in so they are pretty unique. It's especially noticable in the sunlight. I would have rated these three stars at first but since I broke them in they are now a five.<br /><br />**EDIT** since I wear the zebra print 'On the Prowl' Sanuks more than any of the other ones (I am now up to 9 or 10 pairs of Sanuks and I really love the fit and durability of the OTP zebra Sanuks) I ended up ordering the giraffe print ones too from another site--they were much cheaper. They fit tight at first and had a spot that was rubbing my foot but within wearing them twice around the house they now feel wonderful. So now I have two pairs of this same shoe in different prints. I urge you to break them in before you return them. I tucked the tag into the shoe just in case and within a small break in period they are extremely comfortable. I am not affiliated with the brand in any way and I paid for these with my own money and I love them so much. The zebra has a silver thread woven throughout and the giraffe has a gold thread. They are both so much fun to wear and feel great and I ordered my normal size.
