I gave these four stars because I do like them, but on the advice of others I bought half a size bigger. Dont! These are very wide in the heel and almost impossible to make narrower without cutting off the circulation to your ankle. I have tried everything imaginable to make the heel tighter, to no avail. Even with socks on, they are still too wide. I have other Shape-Ups that I enjoy much more because they lace up and I can adjust them better. I occaisionally wear these, but not as often as I'd like. I suppose I will have to wait until my daughter's feet get a bit bigger and then give them to her--which shouldn't be too much longer. I just wish I had bought the correct size and not listened to others who are in denial over their actual shoe size.
