I did exactly the same thing. They do come up on the small size IMO.

Yup, I have a size 12 here, I normally float between a 10 and and 11 in other makes.

I've always found them too narrow, as well as coming up short. Probably just due to my disproportionate sz. 12 plates though.

If you are struggling to buy the right size shoes maybe you should take your Mum along next time... 🙄

Hmm I have three different styles of Merrells and and they're all normal fit for me (i.e. same size as shoes and trainers), if anything they're slightly on the large size.

It's a fair point from crikey - surely you test it in the shop rather than just shoving your foot in and then paying?

Same here when I bought a pair last week. Usually size 9 but needed 10s.

I did something similar cove - I got 50% off as my local blacks was closing, but now my merrells are creaking and seem to have an internal problem in the heel and they're not returning my emails (merrell).

I have wide feet and can't wear Merrells anymore, about 5/6 years ago they were a great fit, I'm a 9 1/2 and a 10 was perfect with a thick pair of socks.
I tried just about the whole range on this summer and even with really thin socks a 10 pinched my toes but pulled off at the heel.
It's not just Merrell that have gone narrow. I tried North face and Berghaus as well and they were all tight. I've ended up with a pair of Brashers which are better but not super loose.
Annoyingly the really cheap Karrimor's chav sports sell fit well but are awful quality.

I'm convinced that shoe sizing has gone to pot and that my feet are shrinking, now I'm wearing eights where as previously I would wear nines and in my yoof I wore tens, what the hell is that all a boot?
