These felt like clown shoes on my feet when I ordered them in my standard size 6. I typically wear a 6-6.5 with a 7 being in Nike shoes which typically run small. After reading the reviews I thought I was safe ordering what equated to a 6. Instantly when I put them on I was certain they would be going back. There was about a good quarter to half an inch of sole left at both my toe and heal and not being the most balanced person in the world, I knew I would trip over them in no time, likely ripping the toe ring and I'd end up being really mad and with broken sandals.
I haven't decided whether sizing down is worth the price because they are very expensive, and I'm not sure they're really made for a petite foot.
