Things have changed
"I have 6 pairs of rope espadrille alpargatas, and several other original, all in size 6. 5. The new pair in size 6. 5 are tight and short. I had thrown away the packaging because I didn’t expect to have to return the shoes, so now I’ve been stretching the shoes with plastic stretchers and thick socks. I think they will eventually be wearable, but I caution any purchasers to consider sizing up."
