I received my Lauren Amarissa ballet flats yesterday evening and have been wearing them all day today around the house. My main issue with them is the fit; sloppy with poor heel grip. Having read that they run a bit big I ordered an 8 instead of an 8 1/2. I can tell it is the correct size, but, they just don't grip my heels well enough and they seem a bit wide along the sides. I don't have narrow feet, and I ordered the 8B, so they should be fine. My first thought when I put them on was that I should be able to tighten the string on them to make them more snug. Unfortunately the string is securely stitched to the shoe where it is tied into a bow. I'm going to try getting some heel grips for them. I've noticed that as I'm breaking them in they're stretching a bit, which is making the fit worse. I just don't want to return them since I've had such a hard time finding a pair like them.
