These are sooo cute! However, they are really tight on my big toe. I wear an 8.5 and I think I am going to send them back for an exchange for a size 9. I'm also a little miffed because one of the string bows was perfect and the other was mangled. It can easily be fixed (straightened out) with crazy glue, but honestly, should I have to do that? I'm hoping when my size 9's arrive, that BOTH bows will be in excellent condition. Aside from that, they really are very cute shoes. Perfect round toe and very feminine. I was concerned from the photo that they might be sort of nerdy, but not at all. Very cute.
