When I am wearing the band around my ankle my toes hit the other end of the shoe. I took that measurement and compared it with the size chart and it indicated she was a size 10. However taking my beats out of their case i found the leather to be falling apart and not nice to wear, so i did a youtube search to see how easy it is to replace them. Only issue is serious lag when connected to my TV. ) They last forever and I love the way they cushion and conform to my feet! It was finger tip length for me about 4 incurred above the knee. Ive owned waist trimmers in the past, but this one stands out from the rest with the 3 velcro straps. My Granddaugther loved them her favorite color and unicorns what could be better Arrived charged up and ready to go- nice surprise. I love the shoes and will continue to wear them, I just need to be more mindful that the toe is longer than expected.
