text: I love the design of these shoes and the price was right, I originally ordered them in an 9, they fell off when walking, so I returned them for a 8.5. thinking that would be the perfect fit. They are so tight it is hard to believe they are an 8.5... I normally wear an 8, so I thought for sure these would fit. Because the return shipping for the size 9 was $15/ half the cost of the shoes/ I guess I will just give them away.....sad because they are cute!
