I'm already looking forward to starting the summer with my new shoes. I normally fit a boys size 5.5-6.5 so I decided to try the men's size 6 and women's size 8 when they arrived they were about a half size too big for me. However, I do remember my mistake many years ago with my first pair of Crocs, which I left in a hot car and decided to take my hair dryer with me. In about 5 minutes my family is half a size smaller and ready to go! I consider myself a shoe snob and don't like shoes without socks but these shoes are amazing no hot spots or red marks.
