text: Yes, they are really narrow as others have written.  I am only giving this two stars because the toe strap is so narrow!  I really, really, really wanted these because they are so cute.  I normally wear a 6.5 and of course they did not fit.  I ordered a 7 and  I hoped, (although others had warned), they would fit.  I just ended up with more problems.  They were too big in the back but the toe strap was still tight.  Alas, I returned both pairs and went with a Frye shoe instead.
