I am a pretty true size 8, I have a narrow heel which can make fitting shoes and sandals difficult. I also find myself prefer a roomier toe area, I don't like to squeeze my toes together. That being said, if I can return these I probably will. I love the way they look but the Birkenstock mayari has much more room in the toe area. I feel like my pinky toe is about to pop off with these. I did try a size 9, but it only elongated the sandal, the pinky toe problem was still an issue so I did purchase the 8. But like I said, if I can return I probably will.
I buy a few new Mephistos every summer because they are so comfortable…better than Birkee’s for me because they are a bit “narrower”

Sizing is off!

I always buy a size 41 in European sized shoes; these were represented as 10, my normal size but they are too short. If I’d been advised that the US 10 translated to Euro 40 I would not have ordered them. Oddly enough the Mephisto box side says 10, but the bottom of the box has a graph showing it’s short of a 10, more like 9 3/4. Before ordering I’d consult a Mephisto sizing chart. Now I have to return this pair.
