Ouch! I know it says to order a half size larger, but I would suggest ordering a full size larger. I knew that these might be somewhat uncomfortable based on the price alone. I only planned to wear these to 1 event, for approximately 3-4 hours. I tried breaking them in before the event. These were so painful that I just went with a different shoe. Life is too short to wear painful shoes. I gave these shoes 2-Stars because they are super cute.
