"When I received these, I immediately tried them on & wore them on around the house a bit, because I occasionally have a hard time wearing heels--ended up sweeping, scrubbing the floors, cleaning baseboards in them! They were so comfortable, I never felt like I needed to take them off. I can wear them all day at work & they still feel great. Really cute! (the flower applique is patent leather-type material...I couldn't really tell from the picture.) I usually wear a 7.5 or 8...I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly."
