Are there any H sandals for men that are a bit wider than the Izmirs? I bought a pair of these for my partner, but he can't get his foot all the way forward. I'm guessing because the strap portion isn't high / wide enough. Any suggestions? Thanks!
 
Hermes suggests buying 1/2 size bigger to accommodate wider feet. I am a size 41 and I bought the Izmir 41.5, the nature of the sole and the front part makes the sandal a narrower shoes than most. I am debating whether to return them or get a size 42. I hope the leather will stretch more. But I can’t try them even at home without the risk of marking the soles. Then I won’t be able to return them. Hermes should make these sandals true to size.

Same issue with me. See my previous post. Hermes suggests taking 1/2 a size larger, but still, with that (41.5 instead of my normal size 41), the front part still feels a bit tight. Of course if I take 42, the shoe itself may be too long for my heel.

This exact same situation happened to my partner. The sole got marked and now we can't return them :( And the shoes don't fit him
