Love these converse and in my favorite color which is pink. Some of the reviews stated that the fit was a almost a half size bigger than their own size, I'm a size 7 1/2 and that's the size I ordered and they fit just fine . I haven't worn them for any long amount of time throughout the day so I wouldn't know if they would make my feet ache or not but my feet feel just fine after wearing them for a few hours . They arrived 5 days after purchasing and in perfect condition, they were shipped in an Amazon box surrounded by brown shopping bag type paper.  I've got no complaints whatsoever, am very happy with my converse.
