first of all, these shoes are wonderful! it's like dorothy's red slippers, only in green. however, this is the second pair of crocs we ordered this week that were too small. two different people, two different sizes, both about 1/2 size too small. i've been wearing crocs for years with no issue with sizes. a 7 was just a bit too short. i tried an 8, and it was slightly too long. i would hate to find that crocs are slightly the wrong size for either of us.The fleece lining on these Crocs gets mashed down into a non-fuzzy mess very quickly. In addition to that, if the lining gets dirty or smelly, it's difficult to clean. If you're considering buying this, you're better off buying a similar model of Crocs without the lining. Just wear socks instead. Unlined Crocs can easily be wiped clean and socks can go into the laundry to be washed in the washer and dried in the dryer.
