I wear a size 5.5 and bought a size 6, since the shoes doesn't come in my size. I was hoping that 1/2 a size wouldn't really make a difference, but I was wrong! The shoes came and it was a nice shade of dark red. I loved the ankle strap and the shoes would've been perfect if it was just my size. I can usually pull off wearing size 6 sometimes, but it wasn't the case with these shoes unfortunately. So I had to return it with a heavy heart. I took a star off because the shoes did not come in size 5.5. Otherwise the shoes were really cute.
