Gist of my review: trying a half a size smaller than usual (not bigger) and they are slightly narrow, but will definitely stretch to a nice fit with some wear! Will update my review if half-size smaller is not enough! The customer service lady said that there is a 1/6 inch difference in length between sizes! First off, I've ordered
Fitzwell shoes before (
ankle boots) and I loved them, so I figured I would give their
flats a try. I'm normally a 7
and 1/2, so that's what I ordered. I actually ordered the
ankle boots in a size 8 so I could wear thick
socks with them (when I lived in Michigan), so I figured a 7
and 1/2 would fit fine. Turns out that I had at least a 1/2 inch gap between my ankle and the back of the shoe. I want a more snug fit because I've found that with
flats, they tend to stretch to a perfect fit (especially leather ones). I called Zappos the same day I received my order to let them know the 7
and 1/2 was too big and my new size (trying a 7) is already on it's way and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow! All I have to do is print out the return sticker and swap packages with the UPS man! How awesome?! Been a customer with Zappos.com since 2007 and still absolutely loving them!
