After reading the reviews I decided to get an 8.5. I am normally between and 8 and 8.5. The 8.5 just barely fit in length but are just fine, I definitely could've gone up to a 9. Purchased the coral color and I would say it is more of an orange coral then a pink coral but a pretty color. The wide braided band is a bit snug but at the same time it is nice because it holds it in place on my foot. Almost a bit too snug but I will still wear them. Hopefully it stretches a little.
