text: I also read the reviews abt how  they tended to run small. I wear an 8 and they didn't have an 81/2 in stock, so I took a chance. They were a little short at the heel but as I wore them the thong gave and relaxed and my foot slides forward, just like with all flip flops, and now fit perfect. My heel doesn't look to long. I'm glad I ordered my correct size....
