If you have narrow feet, or absolutely positively need arch support, these shoes are not for you. But I LOVE these!!! I had them as a small girl and did a happy dance when I found out they offer them in adult sizes! Initially I purchased them solely for nostalgia's sake. But they're sort of the perfect summer sandal, and they will be my go to travel sandal from here on out. Why? Let me count the ways.... They don't rub any funny spots or cause blisters. They are designed to withstand water so if I'm caught in a summer shower while sight seeing, I won't have to take my shoes off, hide them in my bag, and run barefoot a la Brittney Spears! They're a classic design that will probably go with most anything I throw in that suitcase. Unlike some of my more expensive "fancier" sandals, they're durable - I don't have to watch where I'm walking, etc... - they can handle it! (European cobblestone streets? Bring it!) My feet are neither wide nor narrow, and these are definitely on the wider side. Any more and they would have been too big for me. I wear a solid U.S. size 9 about 98% of the time, and these were no exception. The fit was perfect. I ordered the red because I think they'll look adorable with just about anything, but I will likely go back for the gold soon.....
