So these aren't the most well made shoes in the world, but I didn't expect them to be! They do run large for sure. I normally wear a 6 in a heel and a 6.5 in a flat. Based on other reviews, I ordered the 5.5. The 5.5 does fit, snuggly, but that's ok because I'm positive they will stretch. The rose color is fabulous, and the vamp and toe embellishment is really cute. The rouched sides are good for getting a nice snug heel fit, however, there are knots in the threading on the inside of the shoe... I can't even say the thread is knotted, but possibly melted rather than tied and they are itchy and rub the foot. I plan to try softening those up with some hand lotion or possibly some wax. I think once the pokey thread-ends are softened, these will be very fun for gentle wear this summer.
