re way too long, by at least an inch. So I exchanged for a women’s 7, (I’m never a 7!) they are the correct length and my heel doesn’t slip out, but they felt very snug, almost uncomfortably so. I did some research and found out about the hair dryer method- wear your natives and point a hair dryer on the hot setting at the parts that are too snug, for me it was the bunions and the top of the foot. The shoe stretched perfectly to my feet in the areas I heated up! Now they feel comfortable and perfect for me, like custom shoes. My husband had the exact same experience with sizing, usual men’s 11 way too long and heel slipped out, 10 perfect length but too snug, hair dryer method. So I would say size down one size from your usual to get the length correct and no heel slippage, because the snug problem can be resolved easily! Don’t put them in the oven or clothes dryer as you could stretch the parts that you don’t want stretched! I got the bone white color, which I love! Online it seemed like it might have pinkish undertones, but I was pleasantly surprised that in person it’s just a nice creamy ivory color. My husband ordered the grey, and online it appeared darker, in person it’s a very light grey, almost like a greyish white. We like that color better in person too! So glad we discovered natives! They are cute and practical for Summer time and vacations. We also saw on YouTube that you can clean them back to new condition with nail polish remover, so we’re not worried about the light colors.
