"Normally I wear an 8.5 m, but after reading the reviews, thought I'd better go up to a 9. I got them today. It was all I could do to squeeze my foot into them. These are made for people with extraordinary thin feet. If they are going to make them like this, then they need to give an option for a wide. They are however adorable and if I thought I could get them stretched enough, I might consider keeping them. I rated an average for comfort since I can't tell really how they feel! I said no for recommending because I could only do that for someone that may actually be able to wear them. Most people I know don't have thin feet."
