Let me start by saying these shoes are absolutely beautiful, and it kills me to have to send them back! However, these shoes were much too big for me, PLEASE do not listen to the others who say to go up have a size! I actually purchased my usual size 9, as I have narrow feet, and I literally could not walk in these without my foot popping out. In addition, the second strap that goes across the foot itself is not adjustable, and I would've had to take these to a cobbler and see if they could cut and resew them to be flush against my foot. I am sad to send these away, but I can't even size down and hope for the best, as they are out of size 8 and do not sell size 8 1/2.
