I was hesitant when I saw several reviews saying to order up a size or so- I ordered up half a size and definitely wish I had ordered up an entire size larger than I normally wear. They do fit a bit small, and I saw a similar comment that said that part of the glue was visible on the shoe- this was the case with mine. The glue isn't very noticeable and I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't read the comment before buying. Overall, wish I had bought a size larger, but besides a snug fit, the shoes look great and feel lightweight like I'd wanted them to.
