I was a little concerned when I first received the shoes - the box was a little mangled and held closed with a rubber band.  However, the shoes look amazing, and exactly as pictured.  I tried them on, and they are true to size - I typically wear an 8.5, but no half sizes were available, so I ordered a 9.  They fit well, with just a bit of room.  I'm not worried though, because the t-strap and buckle closure will keep them on my feet.  :)  They are really comfortable to try on, and I can't wait to wear them!
