text: This was my second pair of Tide II.  I normally wear a size 8 shoe and had ordered that size on two different pair of Vionic shoes from another shopping site.  They just didn't  look right or feel right so I returned them.  A local shoe store was having a really good holiday sale, so I went and found they carried Tide II that I could try on.  To my surprise I found that size 7 fit perfectly as the orthotic arch support raises the arch which also causes your foot to &#34;shorten.&#34;  No wonder the size 8's didn't fit well or look right on my foot.  These are a great shoe that is very well made and looks like something I can wear for years and years.
