Beautiful shoe
Size: 7, Color: Smoke Grey
This shoe is fairly narrow, which works fine for my narrow feet. Comfortable. Light. Nice color will match with lots of colors. Fairly comfortable but the skinny part by the toe I see how this would give anyone with a medium side foot blisters. It’s fine on me.

Runs small
Size: 8.5, Color: Sandstorm
This shoe is super cute and comfy. I usually wear an 8 or an 8½. I ordered the 8½, but it was too small, so I had to send it back. I reordered a 9, and it fit perfectly.

Love love these
Size: 7, Color: Black
Totally love these. I found them to run a bit short. I ordered a 6 1/2 (my normal size) - had to return them for a 7. But I love them.
