I can't even answer the question about how these shoes fit because they just......didn't.  The heel was floppy, the toe back portion of the toe cut into my foot, they slopped all over the place and nothing I did, no orthotic or footbed I tried, could make them wearable.  Note I didn't even try to say comfortable, just wearable.  I wore them twice, was utterly miserable all day and at the end of the 2nd day, went home and threw them in the trash.  Loved the way they looked, they were cute, but utterly worthless.  The poorest fitting shoes I've ever had the misfortune to own.
