Really happy with these booties. The red is dark and imperfect (the way I hoped) and the heel gives lift without too much formality. I typically wear a 6.5, so I got a 37 and they fit perfect. The wide toe bed can be hard for some to get used to, but they are really comfortable and if you wear Dansko you might be used to some wideness. I've worn them twice and haven't had any problem with pressure against the ankle like other reviewers. These were pretty comfy right out of the box. Very happy with the purchase!
