These shoes are cute and I get lots of compliments when I wear them. I have a bad back and they just don't have any support. They are super stiff too. They run large. I normally wear a size 10 and even feel 10.5 works for me, but these are huge. I ordered a size 10.The slight wedge causes my feet to slide forward and my shoes flop off sometimes. I rarely wear these because they cause my legs and back to hurt and they cause blisters from flopping around. If you can handle no cushioning and support, buy these at least a half size smaller.
