Right off the bat, I will tell you- you read everywhere about how these shoes run a half-size small? Not in this style. They are very true-to-size. I have a few pairs of Shape Ups, and I love them- this pair is no exception. They have a zipper, so you don't have to mess with lacing them all the time, and I have worn them comfortably all over Disneyland. They easily came off for an airport screening, and were back on my feet with a minimum of fuss. The only thing I am not thrilled about is the small Velcro strip used as a closure above the zipper- it makes the top buckle a bit. But I can tell it was a must for the necessary versatility to fit a wider range of sizes. These are very cute and comfy- I have gotten compliments every time I have worn them. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase!
