text: Based on all of the reviews, this is what I did:<br /><br /> - I'm normally a 6 1/2 wide, so I ordered a 7, since some people said they ran small.<br /> - It was a tad too loose (as expected) when I walked. My heel kept sliding out, so I added a gel insole that was recommended, which was perfect.<br /> - Anti-friction blister block to rub on also helped at the toe and ankle as I broke my shoes in around the house.<br /> - Since my feet sweat, I wore socks. (I need to invest in some ballet flat socks!)<br /> - The first day, I wore these to work for 12+ hours and got soooooo many compliments!
