"I got this Sperry because I was in love with the colors. Made sure I purchased the same size that I already had in the brown leather ones, purchased at a retail store. They looked a little big in the box, but the size was correct, so I wore them for a day in the classroom. OMG. By the end of the day my feet were hurting and I took them off to clean up. I measured them side by side with my brown leather Sperry and they were at least a half inch longer. My foot must've been sliding all day. No one had them in a size smaller here in TN, so I returned them to the store and purchased again. Hopefully these work!"
