I have loved how these shoes look and always wanted a pair. When I finally ordered them, I was so disappointed to find that they ran very small. I'm normally a true 8 1/2 and in this pair of 8 1/2's my toes were pushing against the front of the shoe in a very uncomfortable manner. I had to return them, and I believe a 1/2 size up would be TOO big. Very sad.
The pink/salmon color is beautiful though.
