The sizing is a tiny bit on the big side but perfect if you wish to add a small insert in the bottom (highly recommend it). Otherwise they are awesome and beautiful. The strap is comfortable and doesn't chafe and the point doesn't pinch your toes. The strap secures your foot very well so there's no need to walk 'flat footed'. You can walk with bending your toes and not have to worry about your heel coming out of the shoe. The heel is a bit narrow for my taste so I wouldn't climb hills in them, however the grip on the soles is great; no slipping but also no feeling stuck to floor so you can turn on a dime if needed.
