i'm so confused :(
I purchased the TB leather ones in size 9.5, sometimes I'm a 9 or 9.5 depending on the brand. When I went to nordies to try on the 9's I found them too tight, but I wonder if that's because my feet were swollen from all the walking beforehand and ended up with the 9.5. Now that i'm home ( I went down to the states to buy them), I tried my 9.5 and the back of the elastic is touching my ankle, but below my ankle there's lots of room. I wonder if I should have stuck with the 9's??? They are totally comfy and soft, but worry about stretching or if they are too big.... I read all the pages of this thread and is not confused as to what I should stick with :(

I will probably post pictures of what my feet look like in the shoes. I hope you guys can help me out :)

thank you!

I bought a size 6(my true size) in the python suede, and when i tried them on they fit well and comfy/not tight, but as I walk around in them they hurt ONLY my left feet, like you can see the redness around the top part of my foot, i think it was swollen from walking. It has been like this for a week, maybe it's because suede doesn't stretch as easily? i don't know, it might be different for the soft leather, but sticking to a 9.5 is definately a comfier choice IMO

You're welcome :)

before I bought the size 6, I actually got the 5.5 because i thought they would stretch, but they were waaaayyy too painful, but it did not have the bump in the back, but the size 6 does, so i think unless you buy a size that is smaller than your actual size you will have a small bump in the back.. from my experience

Peachy, I have a brown pair of Revas in the same leather as the photo you posted, and mine fit similarly in the heel. I've found that sizing down to the point of getting rid of that 'bump' makes the shoes WAY too uncomfortable to wear for long. The elastic on smaller pairs digs into the back of my heel so badly that I want to gnaw my own foot off to stop the pain! For me, sizing up a half size has been the way to go - and that is even more true with the patent pairs I have! I've had my soft leather ones for about a year and they haven't stretched at all, so you should be safe :smile1:

I have several pairs and have that "bump" in the back of all of them - sizing down to get rid of that is just too painful. I dont mind that bump. It only happens with my soft leather, not in the patent or other printed or patterned leather.

allieash and needanotherbag, thank you so much guys! I was totally going to take a trip down to the states to exchange them, but since you guys have said that it has not stretch and that going down a size will make me gnaw at my feet, i'm keeping these! :D :D THANK YOU! :D

I normally wear 8.5 in most shoes. I have a pair of Romys in 8.5 that fit great. I had to go up half a size to 9 in the plain leather Revas and they still hurt my heel at times. I just got a new pair of patent Revas in 9.5, I hope they dont stretch too much!

I have 2 pairs of leather revas, and the leelee multi snakesskin, leather and metallic , and just bought the platinum metallics and all TTS, I got 9.5 in all pairs. Love the platinum, they go with everything!!:yahoo:

I really loved how the Revas looked and got myself one last year.

Trying them at Bloomingdale's for just some moments and walking around, they felt pretty true to size (I am a 7). So I got the black smooth leather pair.
If I wore them for just a couple of hours, I would be fine. But one day I decided to go to work, by the end of the day, me feet were hurting so much, I could barely walk. The top part of my foot was so pressed into the front of the foot that even created a huge bump. :tdown:

I noticed that the back elastic was very scrunched and was indeed pressing my foot forward. I thought that by wearing it, the elastic would give and it would be more confortable. But no. And my feet were bothering me so much I almost gave up and was thinking about selling them on Ebay (no way to exchange for a bigger size - they were worn). :cursing:

I was really bumped, because I do love them and wanted to wear them.
What I did yesterday literally saved me!

I carefully cut the suede lining from the very back of the shoe without cutting the outside leather - you can cut with a razor or xacto knife. Of course I found the white elastic!!! I cut it and immediately, the shoe looked bigger - like a regular flat in the back, not that scrunched mess.
Immediately I tried them on and they now fit FANTASTIC. I am a 7, this is a 7 and it is perfect now.
Now the front of my feet is not being pressured in the front and the leather is so smooth I won't have any more problems!!!:wlae:

actually i'm about to buy a pair of Reva but i do have the same problem coz i'm a 6 or 6.5. i usually pick 6 for all sandals and 6.5 for pumps, however, i can do both 6 and 6.5, so it's a little confusing on the sizing on this TB flats.

i used to have a pair of cynthia vincent flats which have the elastic band all over the opening of the shoes. that really hurt!! turned out i finally cut the elastic band off and fit very great by then. i don't want to do this to the TB ones. that's why i'm here checking out what size i should pick but i'm still confused. i know that elastic band must push my feet forward like my pair of cynthia vincent did. i don't want to get hurt. seems that i can just pick 6.5 but some of the people said it runs true to size. besides i can't find a TB store in town. i can only get them online!

I think sizing up for TB is ideal. I went half size up (6.5) for my leather Reva. But I also own the patent Quinn flats, and I have these in 5.5...only because they were the only pair left on sale. They fit, but after 3-4 hours of standing they become annoying...
