Loved them right out of the box. They are comfortable and adorable. I wear a US size 6.5 medium, and the european size 37 fit exactly - any smaller and they would not be wearable. They at first were a little stiff and heavier than some shoes I own but after an hour or so they feel like I'd never want to take them off. I'd buy more in a heartbeat. I just hope they hold up well over time.
