I ordered these shoes in black with gold stripes looking for a darker color for winter and read the sizing reviews. I always wear size 6 in shoes and adidas shoes and based on reviews I ordered size 5.5. When I received them I was surprised to see how big they were and how unfeminine they looked. Even at a size 5.5 I would have to order a size 4 for the shoe to fit me. Gold stripes do not go with this color. I do not recommend.
