text: I have always been a Steve Madden sandle fan and I have woren the same size in this brand shoe for years.<br /><br />However, this sandle was too small and extremely uncomfortable! They were a bit tight when I first put them on and I thought like other sandles they would stretch with time and wear, but they didn't. They're very firm material and there is no flexibility. They rub on odd parts of the foot and leave horrible blisters.
