The T-Strap Hasbeens are so cute, and so far appear well made. A note on the sizing, as that seems to be the number one issue with this brand. I sell shoes for a living, so I’m pretty familiar with EU sizing and just sizing in general...
I originally bought the t-straps in brown, and ordered an EU size 38 (which is supposedly a US 8). I measured my foot using the SH size chart on their site. I’m a fairly solid size 8.5, but often size down to an 8 with leather shoes, knowing they will stretch over time...a 9 is always too big for me, and I have a standard width foot, that is slightly slim (but not narrow).
The Hasbeens I ordered in a 38, run very small, both in width and length. My foot is at the very tip of the leather toe, and just barely fits on the wooden footbed (my heel is very close to hanging over the back edge). I know leather will definitely stretch, but the footbed is just not long enough. The width of the shoe fits me fine, a bit snug but again the leather will stretch. However, if you have a slightly above average width foot (especially in the forefoot/toe box area), these are going to be very snug. I’d guess these fit closer to a US 7.5 (and might even fit a slightly large size 7 foot).
I just ordered another pair in the EU size 39. I think even this larger size could possibly be a bit snug at first, but I plan to wear them with socks to break them in and stretch the leather. They’re surprisingly comfortable and very easy to walk in despite the heels. I have slim ankles, and these fit almost perfectly in that area. But I’d definitely suggest sizing up one full size. If you have a wide foot, you’ll likely need a lot of breaking in of the leather before they’ll fit comfortably, probably even after sizing up. Hope this helps, I know I was super confused as to what size to get, and still am...Gorgeous shoes though!

Per the Swedish Hasbeens site - they recommenced going up one size in this style.
I am an 8.5 - went with the 39 because I thought I knew better then the shoe manufacturer! (spoiler alert: I do not)
My toes hit the front of the shoe. Went up to the 40 and they work great!

I have very wide, unmanageable feet and have problems wearing almost all heels, so needless to say, my expectations were low. But when these arrived, I tried them on and they fit perfectly. They didn't seem like they would be very comfortable, and the first wear was a bit stiff, but after that they were totally fine...I just love them. I usually wear an 8 and went with a 38, based on reviews on the SH website.

I ordered a whole size larger based on reviews and I still couldn't fit my foot into the shoe. The leather was so hard it felt like wood. I cannot imagine these shoes being comfortable for anyone.

Super cute and fit true to size! A great shoe you can dress up or down, and the heel is easy to walk in!

These shoes are said to run small, but I found them to be a tad wide. That’s probably because I have a very tiny, narrow foot. I usually wear a size 4.5 or 5. These (in a size 35) fit well enough for me to keep. I’ve been looking for comfortable high heel shoes and these certainly fit that description! By the way, I called Zappos before placing my order because I had some questions and the customer service person I spoke with was super! My thanks to her!

There is nothing wrong with these clogs, they are beautiful! I feel that the reviews are unfair. Some people aren't able to wear clogs. Ever. If you have 'thick' feet or high arches, this isn't for you! I don't think sizing up will do the trick. I'm sorry! :-/

I wear a US size 9½ - 10, and I bought these in a 41. I have average width feet with average arch height. The width of the shoes were perfect for me. What I found interesting is the fact that the strap seems to be designed for someone with disproportionately large ankles when compared to the width of their feet. I had to use the tightest hole on the strap, and it is still a little loose. I have four styles of Hasbeens, and they all seem to fit differently. Sizing is inconsistent across the four styles as far as width goes. I would say if you do not have wide feet, give these a try. They are cute and reasonably comfortable for this type of shoe. If you have wide feet and high arches, I would not bother.

I wear an 8.5 in shoes. I'd previously ordered a pair of Swedish Hasbeens in size 39 and they pinch my feet. I decided to try a size 40 in black and they are PERFECT. I think I have average feet, neither too wide nor too narrow, and size 40 is right on the mark. I have plantar faschiitis in both feet, so good arch support is paramount. I can wear these for hours with no pain. I absolutely love these shoes!

these are the most comfortable heels I’ve ever worn! the arch support is unreal. I normally wear an 8.5 and the 38 and 39 both fit well. I just have to tighten/ looses the straps based on the size. I ended up going with the 39 in case I decide to add a heal insert.

I love these shoes. They are adorable. Yes, they are a bit narrow but I have stretched them (broken them in) by putting on socks the first few times wearing them.

I went up a size according to the reviews and had to return to order my usual size. They were tight at first but I wore socks with them and they are slowly breaking in like my other clogs by a different brand. It’s a bit tight in the toe but I think they will eventually break in like all my other clogs. Super cute

This shoe is very cute but ridiculously hard everywhere! - the footbed is hard, obviously, but so is the leather. Trying on this shoe was like putting on a plastic barbie shoe. Had to return it!

Love Swedish Hasbeens, but this model felt too short in my usual 37. Otherwise comfortable but had to return as my toes were hitting the top.

I was expecting comfort. They are very cute but I have to send back because they are not a comfort shoe despite the high ratings on comfort.

Returning. Loved the way they look, but extremely narrow and small even though I ordered one size up. Sadly have to return.

Although this clog is absolutely adorable, I wasn't even able to fit it on my foot. Typically, my size 11 feet are average and have no issues fitting inside shoes. The shoes were so narrow and the leather was incredibly tough. If you have very narrow feet, this would be the shoe for you. If you aren't size 11, you should order up a size.

The Mia Abba is 10x better!!!! I was super excited to get these because of the t-strap design but the leather is so STIFF - almost like hard plastic despite being leather. They run a tad narrow otherwise sizing was fine.

This is the third pair of shoes I have tried from this brand. They are all so uncomfortable! I’ll be going back to Dansco or KorkEase!
