I was wondering what happened to you after this, stussykyd?
I returned mine. After shipping & handling mine came out to $72.and some change. But I only got a partial refund of $57.something. I e-mailed them and they said it's because of the smart label they used. Never dealing with Eastbay again.
Went to a local Shiekh, asked for Iguanas in an 8. Worker said she had a 7.5 then a 9. If anyone is interested and can't find them, have your shiekh do a stock locate.
I'd go with OG mangos and sirens. I haven't seen anyone else with them other than myself.
And for Mexican food, depending on what you're looking for, I'd go with Tacos El Gordo or Las Cuatro Milpas or TJ Oyster Bar for seafood. And there are a bunch of smaller shops that are pretty good too.
The exact same thing happened to me! I thought I had ordered the wrong one for my GF by accident, but I was sure it wasn't. Please let me know what happens with the associate.
Edit: I have mine boxed and ready to ship back. I just re-ordered it from Nike.com since they have size 5.5
