I wanted to have these shoes so much. It's a beautiful shoe but oh so small size. After reading all the reviews, I ordered 1/2 size larger than I wear, hoping this will make up for the "tightness" of the average width. I was so excited when they arrived. I tried to get inside her and nothing. Eventually I pushed my leg in and stood up, unable to carry her in any way. Had to send them back and it's a real shame because they are very well made shoes,
