I went through a few returns on these before I finally got a pair that fit me properly. I normally wear a size 8 but got a 7.5 and they fit me nicely. The little leather bow on the front is always coming untied which is really annoying. It'd be nice if they sewed it down or something. The shoes look exactly as pictured and are very earthy and comfortable. I would buy them again but if you have the option of going into a store and actually trying them on first, I would do it because the fitting on these is unusual.
