i spotted a stranger wearing these super cute shoes and i had to stop her and ask what brand they were.  after debating on this purchase for months, i finally took the plunge and made the purchase.  i love the color, style and they are uber comfy.  i've received MANY compliments on them, too.  i wear a size 8 1/2 and i ordered size 39 (which usually works for me).  my only regret is that i didn't order a 40.  i would say these run just a little small - but otherwise - they are the best shoe ever!
