"I ordered the silver for a wedding I am in. They are the perfect color and the rhinestone accent in the middle of the bow adds the perfect amount of bling. They do run a little short. I ordered an 8, which is my normal size, and my toes are right at the edge. I do think an 8 1/2 would be better. I have not worn them for an extended period of time yet but so far so good on the comfort level."
