text: I would have given this item a higher amount of stars if the instep in one of the shoes wouldn't have detached after the second use. I'll probably get a gorilla glue to reattach it, but I really should have gotten at least a month's worth out of them before it started coming apart. Other than that the shoes are great and fit well. I'm a half size (9 1/2) and ordered a 10. It doesn't slip off because of the draw string on the back. Maybe mine was just defective.
