NWT Gola Elan Leather Sneakers Women's 8.5

Brand new, unworn women's Gola Elan Leather Sneakers Style No. 90469545 Color: White / Black / Chalk Pink Size: US 8.5 I just bought these online from Free People but they're a half size too big. I wear 8.5 in most shoe brands (ASICS, Brooks, Vans, Blundstone's) but I would have preferred an 8 with these. They're in the original shoe box. I paid $143 US for these ($110 + $33 in duties), which is about $200 CAD, and would have to pay the return shipping to mail them to the states.
