I really can't tell if the shoes are any good or not - so the two stars is strictly for sizing.  I usually take a size 6.5-7.  Got these in a 7 and they are AT LEAST 1/2 size too short.  My toes literally bent like some ancient foot wrapping torture.  Would have to get at least a 7.5, maybe even an 8.  The majority of shoes I get are 6.5 - so this was really a surprise.
