I so wanted to love these (bronze, size 8) but I decided to return them when my practicality won out. The top of the left shoe cut into my foot and left an indent just to show it really was not going to fit me well. The shoe didn't feel like it had any give to it so breaking them in wasn't an option. I think they are a great price and so feminine and pretty. I am sad that they do not have any larger sizes left. A great value if you are a true size 8., personally I must stick with an 8.5
