"I was so excited to receive these booties. I love their design, lower heel, and open toe. However, I was disappointed because the toe area was very cramped. My toes were squeezed, and I had to return them. The bootie is beautifully constructed with quality leather, though not soft. I normally wear 8.5 to 9, and I ordered 8.5 because of other reviews. It was a good length for me."
