I've been searching for Pumas in a size five.  They are adorable, but the brand rarely makes fives (which is very disappointing).  Previous reviewers claimed these ran quite small, so I gave the size 5.5 a try.  They are too big.  They are true to size, they fit like a 5.5 should (which means they are too big).

I will be returning these. However, that's through no fault of the shoe.  I was simply mislead by reviews.  The size 5.5 is a true 5.5.  These Do No Run Small (unfortunately) .

They are also extremely cute, of an average width, incredibly lightweight, and with a wonderfully comfortable arch.  (The little backing on the upper heel is somewhat bothersome, though, and might prove incredibly troublesome with continued wear.)  Though the shoelaces (which one reviews noted were long) are indeed long --but I forgive them that since they are also cute.

Trying these only makes me more upset that Puma so rarely makes fives.  I love them! But unfortunately they do not fit, and therefore must go back.

(Suggestions of similar styles in fives are welcome.)

I am marking them down to 4 stars because I cannot give give stars to a brand that isn't considerate enough to make my size.
