I am shipping the shoes back.  I ordered an 8 1/2 Wide - they are far too small.  When I remove the inner foot pad, they are clearly marked 8 Wide in pen on the bottom of the foot pad.  Perhaps the fact that some of these pairs of shoes are mis-marked would account for all the reviews that state they are too small.  The other pair of Grasshoppers I purchased in a size 8 1/2 Wide are actually a little large, but I kept them.  Same type of shoe.  I am now going to have to pay shipping back to return this pair.  I think that if the size that is sent out is wrong, the seller should be paying the return shipping charge and provide a prepaid label to use .
