My daughter needed these for school and I was having trouble finding them in the city. I saw these online and after reading some of the reviews, I ordered these because they were guaranteed to be delivered the day before school. When they arrived, I immediately tried them on her, but it was quite narrow and hard for her to put on. Once they were on her feet, I had her walk around to see how they fit. I noticed she was uncomfortable. I just thought they needed to be broken in. As soon as we arrived at school, she was limping and complained that her feet were hurting. I told her I was going to find her another pair from somewhere else. After having no luck, when she arrived home, I had her take them off which she was already doing anyway. She had a little scrape on her heels. I pulled the flap up and noticed there was a really thick piece of cushion in the shoe. I removed it from the shoe and replaced the flap. I noticed a big difference right away. She said they were comfy and she wears them now with no complaints. I thought I was doing something going a half size up, but they really runs small. My only complaint now is that they scratch so easily. The paint comes off so easily. They have since turned yellow. I have to find her another pair because these looks horrible. My nieces shoes from Payless has held up better.
