I'm thrilled! I don't know what possessed me to order an 8.5, but I'm glad I did. Usually I order 9 if they aren't wide, since my feet are wide.

It takes a minute to straighten the toe straps, but they fit snugly and comfortably. Really beautiful shoes.

My only problem is zipping them due to my "plus sized ankles." But as others mentioned, I think they will stretch out just fine.

So here's an update... First wearing... At church for about two hours... The heel of the left shoe came off of the sole. Easy enough to fix, but first wearing? I know they're cheap, but still!
