These are very cute. Higher than they look, didn't seem too uncomfortable. I had to return - I'm an 8 1/2 or 9 and the 8 1/2 was too small. I like them a little snug so when they stretch they don't fall off, prob would still size up to a 9 for these. I wouldn't say they officially run small but if you're closer to a larger size, def go up.

I might have kept the shoes and just chanced it being a little small but the real problem was that the cream lining (seems more subtle in the picture) came up over the front of the shoe on one of them and up on the top of the sides so that it was visible on my shoe. I am very fair skinned but it was still obvious and would have looked ridiculous if I'd worn leggings or stockings with the shoes. Since the one shoe was worse than the other, my guess is that this probably isn't always a problem. Just be prepared to get exchanged if this is a problem when you buy.

Otherwise cute, but I can't tell if it was comfortable because I returned. I didn't love them enough to try again.
