Sherpal Bootie

I’m typically a 7 or 7.5 and bought these in a 7 initially, since many reviews say they run true to size. I could put them on and zip them, but they were tight all around so I ordered an 8 instead, since I didn’t think going a half size up would be enough. Well, they were still tight! I think the design of this shoe is very narrow, especially in the toe box. They’re long enough but too tight on the sides and top. They’re uncomfortable to wear, and I’ll be returning them since I don’t think they’ll improve with breaking in. It’s a shame because they’re really cute and sleek. Disappointed with this inconsistent sizing, and honestly surprised others found these true to size. I don’t think my feet are particularly wide - more that this is a very narrow shoe. Had a few friends try them on and they all agreed. I’d go a full size up and hope you have better luck than I did.
