These shoes are even more beautiful than pictured and they would go well with so many outfits, which is why I was so determined to have them and made a real effort to get a size that fits!  That's the only reason for 3 stars instead of 5.  The construction appears sound and well made and in general would likely be a comfortable shoe based on texture and flexibility, but I think I'll have to give up on this one after trying 3 different sizes without success.

I first purchased my regular 6 1/2 size.  I could not even get the shoe fully on my foot!  Not having any other 'size reviews' to compare with at the time, I then ordered both a half size and a full size larger. The size 7 was loose enough to slide right off my heel when I walked and the 7 1/2 was huge.  I'm at a loss to explain this, but I'd appreciate hearing from any one else who has purchased these.
