You may find a pair of shoes with this fabulous combination of plaid and flowers but Id bet theyd cost a lot and wouldnt have the charm these shoes do. PLUS there is a heel which is really important to me. Im a size 8 to 8.5 and I went with whatever EU equivalents were for size 8.5. Im glad I didn't let vanity get in the way of truth, cuz if these shoes were a tetch smaller theyd hurt like hell. (These are my feet, not the universal foot). My toes are where the pain is but its just like taking regular heels off-you deform your feet, sh*t gonna happen. But I love these shoes and love that Im not going to see them walking down the street at me. Maybe.
