Visually, the shoes are adorable and they are lightweight to walk in despite their bulky look.

 I wear an 8.5 generally, and ordered a pair of these in 9 and when they arrived my toes were jammed up in the front of the shoe, so I returned them for a 10. The 10s fit better, but when I walk I still feel the tips of my big toes pressing against the front of the shoe. Also, though I apparently needed the 10 for length, the roominess for the rest of my foot requires me to tie the shoes uncomfortably tightly so my ankle doesn't slide around and cause blisters or tripping as I try to walk.
