Just got my P&B Wallabees off eBay...

[Ziddy]

However, I accidentally ordered them a bit small, and the seller shipped them regardless of three separate attempts of contact. They seem a little tight - I can wear them fine now, but if my foot grows much they'll be too big. Do they stretch to fit at all or do I need to exchange for .5 - 1 size bigger?

What size shoes do you usually wear and what size did you get the Wallies in?

[Ziddy]

My New Balances are an 8.5 and a bit big (though sneakers have more cushioning than these Wallabees, so you'd likely need a bigger size), and the Wallabees are a 6.

That's a pretty drastic downsizing. I wear a 9-9.5 in sneakers and ordered a size 9 after reading the excellent advice from our resident P&B expert, rhythmandsound. Mine are supposed to arrive this Thursday, so I'll see how it goes then.

the suede ones can stretch a bit but going from an 8.5 to a 6 sounds kinda crazy!

anyway dangydang how are they?

[showbiz00ditc]

definately dont be worried because their small! ive bought all 3 of mine up to a full size smaller. and they bust out and conform to my foot, so much better

dont worry be happy now

[rhythmandsound]

yeah but the chinese ones are sized about a size bigger than P&B's and stretch out more as well...

[Dangydang]

Just started wearing mine today, and so far so good! I'm usually a size 9/9.5 in sneakers depending on the type and bought these in a size 9. They fit perfectly, so hopefully they won't stretch out too much. Much more comfortable than my Desert Treks.

nice!

The NB's are actually quite a bit big on me, so that's why. Also, the Wallabees were a bit tight with socks on, anyway.

I've returned the 6's and am waiting for replacement 6.5's...sometime next week hopefully.
