    Mine fit true to size, but I've heard from many others that they've had to size up on them.

    i just bought 2 pair this weekend.... my newports are true to size... my saratogas (slides) are a half size smaller.... (i tried on various other styles.. and they were all true to size.. so it may be that just the slide styles run big?)

    i have a pair of the newports. they seemed pretty true to size. i had to figure out between half sizes and what was personally comfy for me, but they seemed really close, just one was wider than the other.

    I'm starting to think mine are mis-marked. They are truly closer to a 9 than a 7! Back to REI to return them

    I have several different types of Keen shoes (Newport sandals, Taos shoes, and Targhee shoes). For all of them, I had to order a half size smaller than I would usually take. I usually take a size 9 shoe, but in Keens I am a size 8 1/2.
    I think it may have something to do with width. My feet are very narrow, and Keens have a bit more width than most shoes.
    I love my keens! They have GREAT arches.
    But the "bumper toe" is not the best for biking if you already have a bit of "toe clip" when you ride.

    Snap - did they send you a men's shoe instead? Maybe a men's version got put into a womens box. I've found that 9 women's seems to correspond pretty closely to a men's 7 in Keens.

    The label in the shoes says 7 - I don't think the Isabella comes in mens.
