Run very small

Just got these in the mail and was so excited to receive them. Was looking for a sneaker with more arch support than Converse and that would have a wider toe box for my bunion. The sneaker is adorable, but the sizing is WAY off. I normally take a 9, ordered a 9, and could't even get the sneaker on with a pair of socks. Tried them on without socks by my toes still hit the front. Aside from the fit, they are sooooo squeaky. I walked around on my hardwood floors and my son had to cover his ears because the sound was like nails on a chalk board. Am returning.
