"I bought these because I just loved the design and the sparkle of the sequins; however make sure you buy a half size bigger im an 8 or 81/2 depending on the shoe. The 8 was way too tight and so was the 81/2 which I purchased anyways because they didn't have a 9. I wore them to work today and my big toes and back of my ankle hurts from the rubbing. I hope to break them in by having my daughter wear them for me because I absolutely love this shoe :)"
