Haha. Yea, you get some bad apples that try to ruin a good thing every now and again but for the most part, this is a really fun site. Welcome to Listia! Enjoy!
I normally wear a size 8, but I can fit into a 7.5 if the shoe is wide enough; and if it's not too stiff (for lack of a better term). Is this pair pretty narrow?
I have a wide foot and am usually a 7 and they fit me well. I just can't remember if they were a half-size up or not. I think if my foot were a bit bigger, I'd be hurtin' in these. Sorry.
