I bought the black in an 8.5. I have been a Minnetonka fan for years and would definitely recommend these shoes, however, the studs on the left shoe are slightly crooked and the quality doesn't seem to be quite up to the expected standard I have been used to. To be fair, this is the first pair of Minnetonka shoes that I have felt this way about.

I bought these and also the Thunderbird II at the same time. The Thunderbirds seem to be a little better constructed with more attention to detail than these. This was not enough for me to give these a bad rating or return them, just not as good as the others. My sister also owns these Peace Sign mocs and hers are perfect. No one but me notices the imperfection until they look at them from the top down like I do when I'm wearing them...that's how slight it is.

One other thing, I have thick, wide feet and the first time I wore them, the studs wore a blister on my toe. The studs are covered on the inside but you can still feel where each stud is. I wore them with socks around the house for a few days, on and off, and now they are fine. If you have thick feet, you might want to break them in first or at least bring another pair of shoes to switch to if they start to rub.

All in all, I would recommend these shoes for comfort and style...can you get any cuter and trendier than the peace signs? Even my granddaughter thinks they're cool!
