This shoe should have been made in 1/2 sizes and with a sturdier sole. I usually wear a 7 and sometimes a 6.5. As you can see by my pic, the 7 is too big. Such a shame since they are cute. Plus the soles are super, super slick. When I first slipped on the shoes, I felt like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. I was able to slide across my hardwood floor with no effort. As fun as that is, it's not what I want in a walking shoe. I think if I attempted to wear these shoes walking down hardwood stairs, I'd certainly slip and take a horrific tumble which would cause me to incur ridiculously expensive hospital costs, lost work time and who knows how long my recovery time would be. Needless to say I am choosing safety and sending these shoes back.
