text: I ended up returning these for a few reasons, but before I list them, I will say that these shoes are very pretty, comfortable, and appear to be fairly well made. They didn't work for me, but I do recommend giving them a try at the very least!<br /><br />As for my issues, first, the shoe was a bit small. I tend to bounce between a 7 and 7.5 depending on how thick my socks are. Since I wanted to be able to wear thicker socks, I went for a 7.5, but with thin dress socks, these felt more towards the 7 sizing,<br /><br />It was also a bit narrow. I usually don't have problems with a narrow box, but my toes were a bit cramped.<br /><br />Lastly, the heel goes a little high, it was barely brushing my ankle, and once the padding in the heel starts to compress with wear, I would have ended up with the heel edges digging into my ankle if I didn't get an insert.
