I got these shoes based on all the reviews here that raved on them and I liked the look but the shoes ran a bit large for me I normally wear a 8 1/2 m and these feel Like a 9. their real loose. The do have a small Velcro strap but I couldn't get it to stay when I tighten them. The Velcro would just come undone and they would fit real loose again. Also there is a lot of space between my heal and back of shoe so my feet slide back and forth when I walk They are just like the pic. And are pretty comfortable to wear on the bottom of your feet just don't like the fitted sloppiness to them but I kept them cause I don't plan to wear everyday. I would order again just next time I'll order a half size smaller.
