Why don’t any of the toe shoe/toe sock manufacturers ever make a model for those of us with the ugly-ass affliction of Morton’s toe? There’s no way I could wear these things…

Does anyone know how these fit? I wear an 11 ASIC but I’ve heard you are supposed to buy these smaller, any help would be great!

A user on the thread over at Birthdayshoes.com suggests that it’s easier to get the right size because these are pretty close to the actual American sizing chart.
Maybe some other users can chime in with their experiences with trying out different sizes.

I got an earlier rendition of these last year. The previous version were only $39.99 marked down to $10 where I bought them. They’re all over at places like Ross and Marshalls. Buy whatever size you normally wear - mine fit me just fine. They are great water shoes compared to other options at the $10-20 range. Yes, they do get sand in them. But don’t all water shoes? The point of water shoes where I live is not to keep out the sand but to prevent you from cutting your feet on rocks and corral. These have a much sturdier sole than other cheapo brands at this price. Very stable and comfortable - they’re good for walking the dog at the park and stuff like that too.
Several different websites say that these run true to US sizes, but what does that mean for those of us who take half-sizes (I’m 8 1/2 US, or 42 EU)? Would we go to the next higher size, the next lower one, or just not buy these at all?
I like barefoot shoes - I have several pairs of Bikilas (also hard to size, I’m somewhere between 40 and 41) and Merrell Barefoots (Barefeet?) - but I don’t want to be stuck with something that I can’t wear, even for a cheap price like this.

The problem with these, does anyone know, won’t sand still get inside, making wearing these still uncomfortable?

I wear swim shoes to keep my feet from getting scratched on rocks, rather than obnoxious dirt.
