Runs larger than stated

Website suggested going up half size, but that ran way too big. I would suggested going with your true fit or even sizing down 1/2 size if you dont have wide feet. The upper material is slippery/satin like so my foot slides in and out a little if I don't have socks on. Very cute though and comfy otherwise. Wish the straps went around the ankle

Second pair

This is my second pair of these shoes. I’ve slightly wide feet and bad plantar fasciitis issues and these shoes are awesome for me. They run true to length and are a bit roomier in the toe, which is perfect for me. They were more $ than any other running shoe I had previously bought ($175 for first pair), but very much worth it! I got the second pair of same model a bit more than a year later for $45 less. Happy customer!
