The shoes fit very tight. I like the design of the shoe and look forward to wearing them. I felt like these shoes were way too thin and not enough support for my foot issues. We put some in our entry way for jackets and they are holding up fantastic. Overall it is a good starting kit for DIY bracelet projects. 5 in sandals and these were too small in the 9. These may be the pair that gets him through till the end of the school year! Love everything about this shoe! These are dreadful in every regard, even when comparing to very cheap and cheerful wired and wireless earbuds. If you have super wide heels, they may seem a little narrow, but thats it.
