"I'm so happy I bought this shoe. I bought it in black & white and I get so many compliments. People really notice it's unique style. I normally wear an 8.5, but I got a size 8 because of the part that goes around the ankle. It has elastic at the back of the ankle part to facilitate getting it on and off, and the 8 fit much more nicely around the ankle, whereas the 8.5 seemed a little too loose in that area."
