Merrell Siren Ventilator Desert Sage Women's shoes

Athletic/outdoor/hiking shoes. I love these shoes however- SEE ALL PICS & READ. Purchased these from a shoe store not realizing 1 shoe was a size 8.5 Right & the Left a 9. Store wouldn't allow me to return since I wore them (before I realized 1 was slightly smaller than the other. Not a big difference but I needed more of a 9 (had the other been 9.5, it wld have worked for me). If you are more of a size 8.5, these should work as an insole or sock will adjust for the size 9 shoe. GREAT SHOE!!
