After reading some of the reviews, I was a little bit hesitant to order, fearing the shoe would be too narrow.  I decided to order anyway and I'm so glad that I did. The fit is perfect and is not too narrow.  As soon as I put them on, I felt like I was walking on clouds. I wear them everywhere I possibly can.  I also expected them to be really ugly, but to my surprise, they aren't.  I didn't realize that the "dots" where it laces are rhinestone, which I really like.  I haven't had them long enough to know whether or not they really help with the shape-up, but so far, I really do enjoy wearing them.
