text: I own two pair of Dawgs now and love the prints. I have the multi-colored-floral ones and the red, white, and blue ones. People who see them for the first time always comment positively about them. My findings are that I wear a size 7 1/2 Medium, and have ordered shoes online for years and never had to return a pair. Having read on several sites that they run a bit large, I ordered size 7, and length-wise they fit perfectly. However, the Z-straps are somewhat loose, and there's no real arch support. I expected the width of the straps would run smaller, since I was ordering a half size shorter than what I normally wear, but this is not the case. They fit me somewhat loose, so I can't wear them over a couple of hours or they start rubbing my feet. However, I read here that some people think they run small, so that means there is poor quality control at the factory in China. This is a real downer, and no doubt costs Dawgs some revenue by people who don't want to deal with returns, as they aren't free, like they are on most shoe sites. I, myself, went on this site to order another pair in a solid color this time, but I won't, as I'm afraid I might get a pair that is too large, too small, or too short. All of these have been listed as complaints here. My opinion is that, if you take a 1/2 size shoe, then order a size down (as I did), and if you have a wide foot or high instep, they will probably fit you very comfortably. But if you normally take a medium or narrow width shoe, then you probably will be unhappy with them. Medium will be loose and narrow won't do at all. If you want to take a 'Dawgs Roulette' shot at fit, then by all means order them. They're cute and reasonably comfortable, but wish I could buy the Canadian version, as I've read here that the footbed is smooth and more comfortable than the 'pebbly' USA ones.
