these shoes are so cute I can't bring myself to give them only 1 star, but the UK8 is a little too small and would rub on my big toe if I tried to wear them more than a few minutes, but the UK9 is so much too big I can't keep them on my feet - way too wide.  I have to send them back, but they are adorable.( I normally wear a size 11 in US sizes)
