I only buy shoes where I get free shipping and free online or in store returns. I can't see throwing away all that money if it doesn't fit. I find that even shoes within the same brand can fit differently.

I find myself astonished all the time by vendors. If it's your design and you hire a company to manufacture to your specifications, why in the world would you accept anything less than what is stipulated in the contract?  Geesh!

 

There is ZERO chance that I would purchase the Vionic TSV knowing the sizing is "off".  It makes we wonder what else they skimped on to save a dime in cost.  No Thank You!

Vionic sandals have been a life saver for me also.
I had plantar fasciitis so bad for so long, at one point I had to use a cane sometimes. Then I was at a quality shoe store and a clerk recommended a specific pair of vionics that another customer said "cured" her fasciitis. I was beyond skeptical but was willing to try anything at that point. Had already tried other "good" expensive shoes which did not help at all. 
I noticed these felt different from the moment I tried them on and it took a couple months, but my foot gradually felt totally better and now pretty much only wear this type of shoe. 
This style only came in whole sizes so I HAD to choose between an 8 or a 9. I was told and have read, to go 1/2 size down. I did and they fit perfectly. 

This is not missizing a shoe - other companies also have some shoes that only come in whole sizes and you have to either go up or go down and I'm glad they let you know which way.
