It's true when others say these shoes run bigger or wider than normal. That's the only reason I am giving them "4 stars".  However, after getting used to the "looseness", I now rarely take them off! They are so comfortable and most of the time I don't even realize I've wearing shoes! Right now, I've had them on for the past 15 hours  without taking them off, which is rare for me and a pair of shoes. Not only are they comfortable to wear, but they are also stylish, and I personally like the jewels on them (which seem to be placed securely on). I also really like the fact that these sandals don't have straps between my toes (like flip flops) and these days, with the rage being flip flops, it's hard to find sandals just like these.  I love them and would certainly buy another pair when these wear out!
