I really wanted to like them and after reading other reviews that said they were great I planned ahead and ordered a size smaller than I normally wear. I usually wear a size 11 so I ordered a size 10 unfortunately they were still too big. My heel popped out of the shoe with every step, but I don't think I could go down a size because the toe box was only big enough with thin socks. So I had to send these back. I'll try the laced ones.
