I think they are very attractive shoes, I really wanted them to fit! I usually wear an 8 or 8 1/2 and had tried on some Vionic sandles in the store the 8 fit perfectly. With these the toes hit right at the end and were a little wide. The arch also wasn't enough for the high arch I have. So I had to return them without ever wearing them, I only tried them on to walk around for a few minutes.
