I saw a friend with these and my eyes were just drawn to her feet -- those were such cute and stylish shoes.  She raved about them so I ran home and ordered them.  Since I am a definite 8.5 shoe, I decided to go up to the 9-9.5 size, and they fit perfectly.  I put them on, wore them to a string of evening events, got many compliments.  Since I'll wear these until they fall off my feet, I should probably order another pair now.
