These do run large. I've never had Betsey Johnson shoes before, but I think this style of sandal runs a full size larger than other brands I own. Luckily, Amazon didn't have my usual size so I ordered down and they fit perfectly. They sparkle in every light! The nude color is more of a light pink, which is what I was hoping for. The straps have a bit of elastic on each side so they move easily with your foot as you walk. Very comfortable and no pinching or rubbing. Amazon had they best price when I bought them and definitely the best shipping!
