text: I am torn between giving this item a 3 or a 4.  I had tried on the regular Crocband(not the II) at the store, and those ran small.  I had to try on a Women's 10/Men's 8 before they fit decently without my toes hitting the front when I walk.  With that in mind, I found a pretty good deal on Ebay on the Crocband II, so I figured they would fit the same and ordered them.  I'm not sure if it was just the pair I ordered had gotten hot in the mail and the strap shrank a little or what, but my toes were hitting the front on these even though I ordered a Women's 10, and my normal shoe size is 8.5 or 9 in other shoes!  The strap on this type of Croc is definitely shorter than the shoe by over half an inch.  I couldn't send the shoes back, so I tried some advice online about using a blowdryer to stretch the strap.  It seems to have worked somewhat so far.  I think they are going to be wearable once I use the heat on them one more time, but up to now I could only test wear them 2 or 3 hours of shopping before having to change shoes due to my toes getting tender from hitting the front of the shoe.<br /><br />Other than that, they are comfortable.  As some others mentioned, they are a bit &#34;sloppy&#34; fit, so if you are a woman with a more narrow foot, you may not like these.  I tend to like loose fitting shoes in the front of my foot and toe area as a lot of shoes I've had either squish my toes and irritate my big toenail or rub a blister on the front side of my foot.  These also don't have much arch in them.  I think the fit is more suited to guys, but these should work for my vacation where I will mostly be wearing them to the beach and in the water.  My husband ordered the regular Crocband shoes.  He normally wears a Men's 8.5 and the M9 fit him fine in the Crocband.
