I just received these today and they are very cute, but I should have listened to the reviewers who said they run small. I usually wear size 8 , sometimes 7 1/2. I have never tried a size 8 1/2 that didn't swallow my foot. The size 8 is waaaay too tight, borderline painful on the toe. I am going to exchange them if they have an 8 1/2. Hopefully that will do the trick.
