These are cute, though slightly too big for my foot. I think if they fit a bit tighter it would be better. There is no arch support, which is pretty normal for this type of shoe. They are cute, and they go really well with Capri or shorts. Because they are a little too large wearing socks works, but they don't look very nice with socks unless your pants are full length.<br />They are nice, they are cute, I wish I'd gotten a slightly smaller size. I wear 8.5 and ordered 8.5, they are too large. There is not any tightening them up with the lace, it's for show only.
