I was so excited for these shoes! Unfortunately they lived up to the cheap price tag and not my high expectations. I ordered an 8.5 (normal size) and a 9 (in case they run small). Neither size was comfortable, and the side of my feet, especially my pinky toe, pressed against the plastic in a very unattractive manner. It was like pressing your face against a window and seeking is smushed from the other side. You could see where the skin was white from pressure- as I said, these shoes were immediately uncomfortable and it was clearly visible! Skip.
