Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This is a well-made product. I wear men's shoe size 10.5M and ordered a medium, as I had previously from another maker. It is definitely too small. The company was very responsive and have said that they will replace it with a large. It would help to provide a size comparison chart for this product on Amazon.
