I love my natives. I did struggle with the sizing as I have very wide feet, bunions, and little shoe options always. So annoying. However, my kids love their natives and I wanted to have my own. Im a nanny and I need hassle free, universal shoes so I can be ready for whatever is in store for me. I’m usually in between size 7.5 and 8. The 8 is almost always too long for me but I need it for the width. Anyway, I had ordered a 7 first - too tight. The 8 was so much better. Since my feet are wide it took a few days to break in, but it finally gave. I hope if you have wide feet like me, this helps you with sizing! I’d stick to your normal size. Even with my kids- I had to stick to their current actual sizes are getting the next size was really too big. They flop around and the back comes up.

The Jeffersons run the right length but narrow. You can fix that.if you can handle a little heat for a minute. Set your hair dryer on high/ hot and heat up the part of the shoe that is fitting too snug. The shoes will stretch when heated. DO NOT put them in the dryer and try it that way. The heal shrinks and you cant get it back. And youll mess up the shoes when you try to pull them on your foot when they are hot out of the dryer. Trust me. Stick with the hair dryer approach.

Im so happy I have these shoes for summer. They are so cute and comfortable and they go with so many outfits. I am hoping they stretch a little bit because my left foot is a bit bigger than my right and I can see that a blister might be coming. I typically wear a 7.5 but went with a 7 and Im glad I did. An 8 would have been too big.

I am a preschool teacher and needed something to wear for our schools "Water Day" that wasnt a flip flop or sandal. I normally wear a womens size 8 or 8.5, I ordered the 8 and they fit perfectly, the 9 would have been too big. These shoes are extremely light weight and comfortable. I cant wait to order more!

First of all, I normally wear a size 7.5 - and I wish these came in half sizes because they are just a wee bit snug in the toe box. However, I think going up to an 8 would be way too big. The great thing about these shoes though, is the foam stretches a bit as you wear them and molds to the shape of your foot. The more you rock these, the more comfy they become. A little backstory on my - I shattered both heels in a rock climbing accident 3 years ago and suffer from chronic and intense foot pain. Until I found these, Crocs were the best shoes for me. Well, Natives are quickly becoming my footwear of choice. They feel so good and look so cute with jeans or tights or leggings. I just love them. I know a lot of people dont wear socks with these, but I tried that and my foot felt super sweaty and yucky. Also felt like a blister just waiting to happen. So I wear little shoe liner socks that are practically invisible. If you get these, I highly recommend you do the same! These are great though. I want to get a pair in yellow next.
