text: These shoes are super small.  Very tight fit around the sides of the feet as well - they have a nice design, but I would not use these shoes in any athletic capacity (including walking).  Also, the shoe cost on Amazon was $165, but when I received the box (which was crushed, because the shipper put the item in a shipping bag) the price tag was $100 on the side.  The only reason I am buying these was as a gift for a friend, and honestly, if I wasn't I would not buy them at all.<br /><br />There are many other shoes out on the market - for running, these would be painful - I suggest checking them out in a trained running store if that's your interest.  If you want a cute shoe that you can wear to the movies, then this is an overpriced solution.  Otherwise, again, there are cuter things out there.
