I typically wear a size 9.5 in closed toe shoes so I decided to go with size 9 based on most of the reviews, hoping they would work even if they were a little large. Well, I really should have gone an entire size down as the shoes are flopping off my feet.

Aside from the size issue though, the shoes seem well made and are very pretty. I will order the 8.5 in hopes that they fit ok.
