Review on Easy Spirit Skip Womens Sneaker Women's Shoes in Athletic by Eufemia Ragi

I have been buying Easy Spirit shoes and sneakers for over 30 years and I am delighted with the new size. All these years I have bought sneakers in the same style (Romy) and always in size 8, even the ones I bought last year. I bought three pairs this winter and they were all much narrower than I'm used to. Had to go back and order an 8.5. I ordered them in size 8.5 and could hardly put them on! Easy Spirit has always been true to size. What's going on here? I also read reviews of other quality shoes with the same problem. I think it's like the clothing industry where a size 12 is more like a size 8 now!
