These are exactly the kind of shoe I was looking for! I work in retail and am on my feet for 10+ hours a day. They have plenty of cushion and support. The best part is that the top part covers my big toe bone which is usually a problem area for me. With other ballerina shoes, the top part is cut right where that bone is and it usually causes a major blister and swelling for me. I don't have that problem with these at all! I'm so excited that I finally found a ballerina shoe that works for me!! I bought the black and brown in my normal shoe size and they both fit great. The width is what I expected it to be as well. Thanks Keen!
