I like these shoes, but they were 1/2 a size or so too big! I normally wear a 9, but needed an 8.5. I also really liked the bow detail/accessory, but the band part of it looked a little awkward- maybe it's because it's too thick? Not sure, but I just wasn't crazy about it in the beige color I ordered. Overall though, considering how tall the heel is, they seem easy to walk in, and the bow strap definitely helps with stability. They came packaged really nicely, and included extra heel pins and pads for the ball of your foot. I think I'm going to give this shoe another shot in a smaller size and different color.
