I was looking for a light, flexible shoe for water sports (kayak etc.) or easy walking when traveling that is comfortable and doesn't take up much space. You meet both requirements. I usually wear size 6-6.5 but these sizes were sold out so I chose size 7. They're a bit big, but since you can adjust the fit, they'll work. The color is amazing (purple/magenta) and they are cute and fit my needs. I will definitely buy a few more.
