text: These shoes are really pretty with a shiny platinum like color.  You never know how shoes will run size wise.  I had ample room which caused my feet to slide forward a little, leaving a gap in the heel so my heel came out of the shoe with each step.  These shoes are not deep enough for a full pad or orthotic (tried that). I bought the cushions that go just under the ball of the foot to grip and prevent slide and the heel cushions around the back near top line of shoe.  Problem solved!  They are now comfortable and I can walk in them.
