Lavers wrong size

So today I got my lavers US size 8 bought online and although i love how light they are and everything, they feel a bit too large. When I walk, my heel moves up a bit like it wants to come out. Now, IDK if I should order a 7.5 or just go a size smaller and order a 7. Is there a reasonable difference from 8 to 7.5 ?

its usually better to go a size down since the shoe will stretch anyway. i think their is a big difference between size 7.5 and 8 lavers.

example:

im a size 8, i have size 8.5 laver and i have to play in 8's or else they will be alittle to loose for me. i would go for some 7's just to be safe and knowing that they will stretch. in most of my other shoes i wear 9 but in footbag shoes it's better to go down a size or half a size down.

i guess other people might tell you otherwise, but that's how i was taught and it seem to be the fairest way to do it. that's just my opinions you don't have to listen to me.

it depends on your foot... if your heel is just moving around a little bit, and you can't correct that with tightening, I would go down another half size.

if your foot is practically sliding half out the shoe, you might want to go down a full size.

I prefer to get new lavers that are uncomfortably tight. Then, I wear them around until they get juuuuuust right for shred... ALMOST too tight, but just perfect for bag control.

Based on what you've said, I would lean towards "a half size smaller"

I wish I knew they ran a little bit big before I got mine, too. My heel isn't really moving around but my toe isn't really anywhere near the end of the shoe. I could definitely go down another half size. I don't really mind though I'm pretty used to them now.
