"I purchased these in black last minute for a spring wedding; typically I wear an 8 but I bought these in an 8.5. They were super comfortable and easy to walk in in the store, and I was very surprised that remained true throughout the night! I was able to dance and go out afterwards without having to limp around or change in to flats. The cork sole is very comfortable! The elastic band around the toe was beginning to hurt a bit by the end of the night, but I am sure that breaking them in more will do the trick. To be fair, I was wearing these for about 8 hours without any discomfort. Love these! Highly recommend."
