text: I thought these shoes would be perfect for my size 9N foot...the footbed is cushiony and comfortable. But they are designed strangely...the instep goes way in so that my foot hung over on the inside....weird fit. Plus the turquoise elastic band is too high on the instep and if your feet swell even slightly in the summer, i'm afraid they the elastic will practically cut off the circulation in my foot. Sadly had to return. They are so cute...a shame.
