As all other reviews i read, i purchased in half a size larger- wish i would have gone 1 whole size up- as i have worn them a few more times they have loosened up slightly.  I have 2 small children, they stepped on my shoe (while i was wearing them) and the cute little decorations came off.  I lost one - so had to hot glue gun the remaining back on.  However, they still look good and are holding up since being reinforced.  Very Very comfortable!  For the price, i would definately purchase again.
