Just received this item and I'm returning them right away. Fortunately returning with Amazon is easy. They're really pretty shoes and look great on my feet.  The problem is the top part where the rhinestones are on top of your foot, is particularly tall and wide. I ordered the pair in my size and the whole top of the shoe won't touch the top of my foot or if I move my foot forward the back of the shoe has almost 1/2 an inch of space. So my foot is sliding around in this shoe. I would recommend getting a 1/2 size smaller if you have average ankles. It would probably fit well for anyone with substantial ankles and wider feet.  Update 9/8/2015 I just received the pair 1/2 size smaller and the bottom of the shoe is closer to my normal shoe size. The top of the shoe is still too loose. If I went 1/2 a size smaller I think the front of the shoe would pinch my feet. I don't think a smaller size will help the problem. This shoe is designed for wide feet. Even with this 1/2 size smaller shoe I can still put 1 finger space between the top of my foot and the straps. The back of the shoe has the same problem. I'm still on the fence about the quality of this shoe. It looks pretty but it's also obvious that it's very cheaply made. The rhinestones are shifting around and the glue is sorta tacky against my feet.  On the upside they have semi-rubber bottoms so they're fairly muted when you walk. I recommend this shoe with reservations, they're best for anyone who needs more room in the ankles. But definitely try it 1/2 a size smaller first.
