I purchased these shoes because I had a previous good experience with shoes from this company.  However, I am disappointed in the sizing this time.  I ordered my normal size, but it was all I could do to get my feet in them. They definitely fit too tight. I like the concept of the design, especially the elastic strap, but it doesn't work for my foot.  The heel design is a weak point. I would return for a larger size, but there was no return information/label enclosed in the package.  I will continue to try to wear these to see if I can break them in a bit.  If not, my daughter gets a pair of shoes for her birthday.
