I love these shoes. I'm wearing them for my wedding. I am not good at walking in heels. I got a similar height shoe before for the wedding, and this one is so much easier to dance in because the bottom is foam and more cushioned (it probably wouldn't hold up to walking outside). I am sad that they started to have creases in the side around my ankle. I guess because my ankle is smaller than the top opening of the shoe. I got a 7.5 and I am normally a 7.5 wide. It was slightly too long for my foot. I could take my foot out of it without unzipping with a little effort. It was also too narrow for the front part of my foot, but again I'm wide, so that's normal for me. The laces let me let it out on the front to fit better. They do not come pre-laced, but that's not a big issue.
