I have this EXACT pair of shoes and I love them, so decided to order a different color.  The ones I currently own and love are a size 6, required no breaking in, and were comfortable from the beginning. I normally wear a 5 1/2 to 6, so decided to order a 6. They are very small, I would say they fit like a size 5, and the uppers are very, very stiff. I will be returning them. I won't reorder a size up because of the stiffness of the uppers. So sad. I gave two star because they are cute, after all.
