I am returning these. I ordered an 8.5, with the expectation that it might be a little large (I think they use Italian sizing, different from European?). Although the box says 8.5 M, the bottom of the shoes say 9.0/40.5, so of course they are huge-- feel like a 9.5 to me. Not sure if this is Amazon's fault or The Flexx's. I have one pair of sandals from them I like, though with some quibbles about quality (bad gluing on the leather seams). These Time to Rise flats, in addition to being too large, also had bad/no gluing all around the top inside edge (which really should be sewn instead of glued), and the brown finish was rubbed off/chipped in several places. For the price, the quality control of these shoes seems poor, which is unfortunate since they are cute, and seem like they would be comfortable if you could figure out what size to get!
