I really wanted to like these, as they are really cute and exactly what I was looking for -an active shoe with a little height. I ordered my normal size, 9, and they were so big that they slipped off the heel when I walked. I returned and ordered 8.5 and they are tight and hurt/squeeze the tips of my toes so I have to return them as well. On the plus size they look really cute on, so if you could find the right size they could work out.
