Buy from an authorised distributor then you can exchange for the right size.
Hmmm... I guess "slip in and out easily" is a matter of definition. I can "slip in and out" fairly easy (Don't have to struggle in the water or on land to get them on or off, just pull back the back and slide out) on my Unions (size L, I wear 41-42 EU shoe size) but I prefer that.. If things get really ****ed up it's nice to not have an anchor welded to your body, and if you crash lightly you can parry the impact and keep them on your feet. If you don't crash... well then there's no problem. Furthermore don't forget that you can actually make some major adjustments to the boots but moving the rubber straps a couple of notches back or forth to get a snug fit, but still be able to get in and out of the boot fairly easy. Just my 2 cents...
There's a movie with Dre riding Unions in russia. Look when he's getting in his boots. That's the way they are supposed to be. Let me just find the URL..
