I get my fiancee and I a pair of these in preparation for we trip to San Diego . the first pair I receive be too small so I send they back for a larger size -lrb- the saler be very pleasant to work with -rrb- . the larger size still feel too tight across the width of my foot . I have small foot for a male -lrb- size 9 -rrb- and I do not consider they to be extra wide by any means . I also find my heel slip off the back . I give they a fair break in time but they never improve . they now sit in my closet unused . I prefer my sandal to have a looser fit , if you be the same way I would look else where . on a positive note my fiancee love hers and wear they around the whole time we be in San Diego .
