These shoes are lovely and would have been awesome, had they actually fit. I wear a 38 in most brands, and am a pretty true 8, but these were definitely too short, as another reviewer noted. However, I think this is an Amazon issue, because according to the Antelope website, an 8-8.5 is a euro size 39, and a 38 is the equivalent of 7-7.5. I ordered an 8 according to Amazon and received a size 38, which the manufacturer clearly states is a 7-7.5. Feeling pretty irked about this, as the only size 39 is sold by a 3rd party seller for more than twice what I paid for these. SO disappointed to return them.
