these are so awesome - comfortable, PRETTY, its not real glitter - its some sort of fabric that has like glittery threads interwoven - so it doesnt shed, but it DOES catch onto things like my dog's teeth lol - if you could imagine one of those steel wool scrubs. i got a 6.5 cus i fall between a 6-6.5, but i should have ordered a 6, the strap has gotten a little loose after a few wears - i will also buy the black ones eventually
