text: Truth be told, I purchased these for their charm.I get lots of compliments on these! Know up front that these shoes are very flimsy. The structure of these shoes is very thin, like house slippers, and no arch support. I use shoe inserts when wearing these. I don't mind. Normally a size 9 1/2, I ordered a size 10 to account for my Morton's toe (where the second toe is longer than the big toe) and find the size adjustment to be spot on. The toe area has a thin fabric-the shoes ripple along where your toes are pointing! I have wide feet, and the toe box is accommodating. Quite pricey for what the shoe actually is, but fun to amuse others with when wearing.
