Cinderella would have been very upset with this evil stepsister, as I finally fit into her size five shoe without it being too big! This is true to size ladies. (For all of you who think true to size means one size larger, go measure your feet.) Yes, I know, the stepsisters in the story had bigger feet - but I'm the one they don't tell you about... (I'm also not really evil, so I guess including me makes for a poor story.) I bought these at Macys, in the blue color for the same price. They are more blue and less blue green in person (perhaps this is just my computer screen needing adjustment, but it's color is usually pretty good.) So...what do I think of these shoes?

I love them.

I didn't notice they smell like bubblegum until I went to Mel's website to learn more about the company, and well - I was a bit taken aback. So, I did what any self respecting human being would do and sniffed the shoes that I had already worn around. Now I can smell them when they are five feet from my head (it's almost too much, but it reminds me of a doll I chewed on as a child, and well...nostalgia wins.)

I really like the coral and lime colors pictured here too. If I had infinite money and space, I'd scoop those up too.

On to the fit. They are almost loose, not loose enough to fall off of my feet, and they certainly fit just right. The material is very forgiving and soft. It's like being barefoot they are so flexible. I like this. Just know that if it is support you want, you may not like this. It felt great to slip these on after wearing my flip flops all day.

Oh yes, and they are recyclable. Which would be great if I lived elsewhere where no 3 plastic is actually accepted. But in Hawaii, we only accept 1 and 2.

Okay, I'm off to disappoint Cinderella yet another time. (But I don't need her prince - I already have one.)
