“I like the look of these sneakers and I ordered them because I wanted water proof sneakers for walking the dog and for a trip that we have planned to Alaska this summer. I usually take a size 7 1/2 and ordered up to a size 8. The size 8 were too large so I exchanged them for a size 7. The exchange process was very easy. The size 7 sneakers are snug. I read the reviews where others stated that they do stretch. I am wearing the shoes around the house with hopes that this will happen. My daughter's foot is a little smaller than mine and these sneakers fit her. If they don't stretch a little and become more comfortable, I will give them to her. I really wish that they came in half sizes. I can't respond on their water resistance because I haven't worn them outside yet.”
