I own 5 pairs of this shoe in all different colors, in a size 9 and I love them. Don't know if they have switched manufacturers or not, but the shoe felt almost a full size smaller. I havent gained any weight and am always a size 9, so I was really disappointed to have to return them.

Its such a cute shoe however it does run a full size small. The killer, for me, is the area where the top of the shoe meets the sole is sharp and rub on the outside of the foot. Not comfortable.

I have worn Ilse Jacobsen Tulip slip ons for years. I think I have every color! The last 3 pairs I have ordered feel a full size larger. I cannot wear them without socks, so now they look a little corny. My black, navy and olive Ilse Jacobsen Tulips are not sized similarly to the other colors I own. Puzzling.

the sole is thick and not flexible, although it looks segmented. It's like walking with a board strapped to your foot.

Be very careful with Ilse Jacobsen tulip shoes. About one month ago, I ordered size 36 in light green, but instead I received a very dark olive/grey shoe. However, I kept the shoes because they fit well. When I ordered the same size 36, same style from Zappos approximately one week ago in a different color, the size was way off - about 1/2 size too long and very very narrow. Couldn't get my normal size 6 foot into them. The arch was way too tight. Loved the color, but they don't fit at all like my last 2 pairs. Have to send them back. It is evident that the size 36 has two different molds when the shoes are made.

This is not a shoe for a person with a high instep. A very cute shoe but alas it has to go back.

I have 4 pairs and keep adding more colors. The ones I have fit perfectly and are very comfortable. The problem is the sizing of this pair. I always order a 42 which is equal to a size 11. I could not get this pair on my feet. Something is off. They may be knock-offs, I don't know but back they went. Too bad I loved the grey color.

These shoes are really cute, but they're *very* narrow. I tried sizing up, but that wasn't enough. My toes were really squished together, so I had to return. Great pair of shoes for those of you with narrow feet!

I loved the style and ordered my normal size size 9. It was so short that I could not even put it on my foot. I exchanged it for a size 10; again it was far too short. I retuned and asked for my money back. Very disappointing. I figured that if they were that off on sizing that the shoe would not be worth my bother.

These shoes are wonderful. This will be my third pair. However, Zappos sells them with matching to your US size. I am a size 10 but the 41 they sent me are TOO small. I think that the sizes are not correctly converted when you get to the larger show sizes. I am returning but will get the next size up. It would be helpful if Zappos put the european size they are giving you when ordering.

The size is inconsistent. I am a true 9.5 and first ordered size 39. It was too small and exchanged for size 40. It was even smaller!

Cute shoes but, I wear a size 9.5 US. The outside label of the box said that they were this size, but they were more like a size 7 when I tried them on. There was no way my foot was going to fit in them. Also, they shipped in an Amazon box loose. Made me wonder if they were counterfeit.

There is NO way this is a size 42/12. Definitely looked more like a 10!

This shoe was a size 40 in a European size, which is equivalent to a size 9 in the US. I ordered a size 10, which is a size 41 in a European size.
