I'm so disappointed in these shoes. They look very nice in person and the quality is great! The problem is the buckle is not adjustable. The gold dots are actually notches that open so you can get the heel on. But there are no additional notches on the strap so that you can make the ankle strap tighter. It was way to big around my ankle due to this. Where are the toe area was really small and uncomfortable. Too bad to because these are such classy shoes with a twist.
