These do tend to run smaller then the pair I bought a few years ago. But they are more sturdier, and alil heavier which is fine. I usually wear an 8 1/2 and got an 8 in these, they fit but thong part will be better once worn a few times. As they are a little tight and are defiantly going to cause blisters as they are now because the material isn't very soft. These shoes are defiantly not for someone that has wide feet. But will fit fine if your feet are more on the slimmer/narrow side. These shoes I dont think are great as is, but I think after they are worn a few times they'll be okay....hopefully.
