After reading all the reviews I didn't know what size shoe to get. I'm between 8 and 8 1/2. I ended up with 8 1/2 and they are a bit big. It's not a big problem and the shoes don't chafe, but I wish I could just stick with a size 8. Stick to your actual shoe size. You are not small. Overall great shoes! I love her! Very comfortable all day!
