I am size 12 in all shoes except DC, for some reason their size 12 is smaller and fits me a bit. Anyway, I ordered them at 12 and they were yuuuge. I had to send them back and got 11 which are fine - my heel doesn't slip out of them but they fit snugly on my toes and are a bit wide at the arch. I can't stand socks with these shoes, so my little toes hurt a little by the end of the dance night. No bubbles so it's a win. You look bad.
