I was surprised to see how small they were. I put them on and yes they did fit ,but the whole shoe is designed to look small and sexy and that's about it. I'm a size 8 but my feet are thin and narrow so although these shoes fit me they might not fit a person with thicker feet or ankles. It was clear to me that the way these shoes look was the most important aspect to the designer. They look very sexy, but some of the straps rub certain areas. I would not recommend for all day wear. What I did like about them was that they arrived quickly and a canvas bag for carry came with the shoes which was a nice little extra. The sole has ridged firm rubber which I liked very much since I dislike the hard plastic type of soles. I will keep the shoes and wear them to events where I will be sitting most of the time. Bottom line : I love the shoe very much, but I wish it came with a better degree of comfort.
