it's the first time in a looooong time i've dropped this much money on a pair of shoes.. and it was almost worth it!  i purchased these in white, and they are more of a tiny bit off-white, not bright white.  as soon as i opened the box i realized they were even cooler in person than online, but the size is a little off!

i read all the reviews from women who had FLY shoes on amazon, and the general consensus is:  they run big.  so i bought the size 39 (US size 8).  i wear an 8 1/2-9, so i figured this would be perfect.  but they are a tad snug!  i am not sending them back because the european sizes don't really make half-sizes, and i feel like the 40 would be too big.  so i  hope i can stretch the extremely soft leather a bit and get them fitting right!  my suggestion - go ahead and buy your size if you are a precise whole size or a tad bigger.  if not, go with the shoe size smaller.
