These are certainly pretty shoes but they do run very big. I usually wear a 9.5 in most shoes and a 10 in Chinese Laundry strappy shoes but this shoe feels very loose and kind of sloppy. They are a little frustrating to do up as the double buckles are very small. I prefer it when the small side straps and buckles are decorative only and zip up at the back.<br />These are really fun and pretty shoes. I only wish I had bought them 1/2 a size smaller. Still keeping them as its really costly to return them from Canada.
