User Reviews
I usually wear 6.5 so I decided to purchase them in that size, but when I tried them they didn't fit me, my feet are not wide, but the shoes felt small and narrow.I'm a little sad because the shoe style is very cute, but beware of the sizing that's rather small.
Beautiful shoes, but uncomfortable to wear and run about 1/2 size small.
I normally wear a size 10 and while they fit, there was not much wiggle room in the toe part. But they were not slipping off my heels like the other espadrilles I tried and sent back, so I decided to keep these. I think going up a whole size would have made them too big. The heel height/lift is fine. I don't like many of the platform espadrilles because of balance and standing issues, but these are well within the "normal" range of height for me.
