"These shoes are AWESOME. I read all the reviews, and ended up finding a black pair as a final sale elsewhere in a 6.5, which thrilled me because everyone said to order one size up. Well unfortunately, ordering 1/2 size up for ME did not work. I can still wear the black ones, but I had to put a thick heel insert inside so they wouldn't slip off of my feet. I ordered these nude ones in my regular size 6 and they are PERFECT. Yes, they are a bit tight when you put them on the first couple times, but with wear that patent will relax/stretch a bit to fit your foot more comfortably. Love, love, LOVE!"
