So I thought. I did not get these ordered in time for a lake vacation so while they were enroute I purchased a pair of Nuusol Cascades locally, at a hardware store of all places. It was under warranty which in India is covered by Acro Engineering Company (Read Scammers). Wearing Crocs with socks is like wearing sandals with socks, wont do it, but the lining keeps my feet nice and warm! Quick delivery and great seller. They are so blind and the fit me a little snug but I have a high arch, so I have to break them in but man they are beautiful. For wider feet these would probably be smashing, but slender-footed girls, go with the Vionic Carmel, which has adjustable straps. Ultimately my fault, but found out the hard way. The womens 9, however, are the same size as each other, and both have 40 embossed in the soles. I do love these boots and ordered them in the other color a week later.
