"I was excited to get this shoe and frustrated that they didn't fit well. I couldn't even zip them up. I have well over 10 other Zanotti shoes/boots and I wear the exact size purchased. Didn't work out this time, however I will send back for a half size up and hope for the best. I love this shoe maker and have never had any issue before. They have been in the past, the best fitting shoe I have ever owned. Let's hope this wasn't a dud!"
