This is cute little well made shoe.  However, I followed the advise of a couple of the reviewers and went up a half size as they indicated that it ran small.  A mistake for me.  The half size was too long for me and I think made the foot plate off so my little toe was not secure on it.  Sadly I had to exchange them for my normal size 8.  I must say this is the first time following a review didn't work out for me.  My feet tend to be wide rather than long.
