Nisolo Traditional Huarache Sandals for Women - Handmade Leather Woven Designer Sandals with Comfortable Rubber Sole | Casual Summer Shoes for Beach, Travel & Everyday Wear

I bought these on the recommendation of NYT Wirecutter. I'm an 8.5 and I bought an 8.5. They fit perfectly but were stiff. I had read that you are to "wear them them in". Initially I put shoe trees in....that worked some. Then I wore them around the house with socks. Then I put a thick sock on the shoe trees and left in again for a few days. Then I wore them out with nylon liners. Long story short, it took about 20 full wears (over a few hours each time) before I could wear them without socks AND where they did not give me blisters on my toes or back of my foot. Now they are very comfortable and I can wear them most of the day (not all day if humid). So be aware. It's very likely you will have to do the same and not count on being able to run around comfortably in them right away.You may read recommendations that you should size up. I didn't and if I had, they would have been to big today.
