I thought I had found the perfect shoe, until I put it on. It is poorly designed. I wear and ordered a 9 1/2. I could never stand to wear the shoe for extended periods of time because of the pain caused by the shoes. Because of its design, the top of the shoe squeezes/cuts into the top of your foot. It was unbearable!! If it had not been for that, it would have been a really good shoe.
