I loved the look of these and took a chance on these even though I was sure the odds of them fitting perfectly were slim. I love this brand but they seem to run large in some shoes and not others. I was so pleasantly surprised when I tried them on and they were perfect!!! And very very comfortable. They love the patent leather and you can dress them up or down. I love them with skinny pants and a little jacket/blazer. Perfect for running around NYC when I don't 'want to wear tennis shoes. I usually wear 7.5-8 and these are perfect. I love Earthies!
