"I love the shoe and its runs a little small (or maybe it's just me), so I would recommend going up a 1/2 size. If you are walking across a smooth surface ( such as a newly wax floor) please prepare to slide a little. The chain in the back took me a little time to get use to and it does cause the back of the shoe to discolor ( being exposé to the sun). I should have brought two pairs because I do like the style but these shoes have a short life span. Based on the amount of sole."
