I received the shipment in time so my grandson could take them home with him; however, they are too small. He's been a 10 for quite a while, and he wanted to keep them, although they were a perfect fit. I will return them tomorrow (I've been snowed in) at the P.O. I want an even exchange--black, 11/12. He needs them right away for his swimming lessons and for the cruise we'll be taking in February. Thanks!
