It's wise to try on most clothing and shoes, especially when you're not sure how the sizes from a particular manufacturer run. I read a sizing warning while looking at these (don't remember if it was on Terra Plana's site or a review) saying that they ran small and to be careful. A respectable retailer should have at least some sort of return program though. "All sales are final" is a big turnoff for site-unseen merchandise. Marnie, that's solid advice.

The shoes run small and they WILL NOT exchange shoes that have been worn. I wore the shoes for one day, hoping that the strange feeling in my foot was just a result of the kevlar sole, but by the end of day one i was limping and decided to return it for a larger size. They will not exchange it for a larger size or refund my money. I cannot attest to the value of the kevlar sole, though i was intrigued enough to drop the $150 on the shoe. I do NOT recommend buying a shoe unless you can try it on in the store, given this policy. Good luck to all of you. Warning about terra plana vivo barefoot.

A review that would be read by <b>DOZENS</b> of people!
