When I first got them I thought \\"Little small but leather will stretch...  May get a 9.5 next time.\\" But these are a whole size smaller than the size 9 I tried at Dillard's!<br /><br />It gaps on me but real ballet shoes do too. They've gotten compliments every time I've worn them. Now thinking which color should I get next but not here. I need to get the correct size.
