"I've wanted these shoes for a while, so when I got them in the mail and saw the size on the shoes were smaller than the ones I had ordered (maybe - I was a little confused about the men and women's sizing because I'd remembered Converse sizing to be unisex), I was too impatient to return them or look into that. They started out small, and a little painful, though they've gotten comfier after a few weeks of regular use. Either way, they look great with jeans and skirts, so I'm happy."
