"I wear a 7.5 length wise, but have a wider toe box area so go up to an 8. These were still a bit snug but I think they'll break in to be perfect. They're super cute and I got a lot of compliments on them paired with skinny jeans and leggings. They do have a zipper on the side, but I just pull them on. They have a cute edginess to them and I'm excited to add them to my shoe wardrobe."
