Love them!
My review will confuse people because of its contradiction with other reviewers'. I actually have feet on the wide side, and these fit me really well. There is one strap near the ball of my foot that is tighter that preferred, but it's not binding. Otherwise, the angle of the arch is perfect to mine, so it gives me some height, and no discomfort in walking. So cute (got the netural one) and goes so well with so many different outfits! I have had no problems with ankle blisters either.
I said this is 'true to size' but it may actually be just a teensy bit small. I usually get sandals in a 5.5, but they didn't have that in stock, so I decided to try the size up. So maybe this is why my wide feet fit in these perfectly... but because of the design on the heel, the slight size difference makes no difference on the length.

SUPER CUTE! but runs large!
So I ordered these in black. I normally wear a 7.5 in wedges. I had gone to the store and tried them on and remember them not having my size but that they ran pretty big. When I went to order them online, I couldnt remember what size was too big for me in the store. So I ordered a 6.5 and a 7.5, since the 7 wasnt available online at the time. The 7.5 were wayyyyy too big, which is my normal size. I am sure the 7 would have fit as well, but I kept the 6.5 since I needed them for graduation. They are a little tight but are adorable. My advice is, get a half size smaller than what you normally wear and then you will be good. If your feet are somewhat narrow like mine, than maybe 1 whole size smaller as i did. Also, I was told by other reviews that they may stretch a little, so hopefully that happens being that mine are just a tiny bit tight.

Awkward sizing; really cute though
I tried on the 7.5 in the store because they were out of 7s, and it was just a little bit too big. So, I went ahead and ordered the 7, because 1) I'm usually a 7, and 2) it seemed like a half size smaller would be perfect. But the sizing is really weird on these, because the 7 is painfully small across the toes. If the straps were a soft leather or had a bit of stretch to them, I'd probably keep the shoes and just wear band-aids until they broke in, but since it's all canvas and rope and scratchy stitching, I'm going to have to return these. It's really unfortunate, because these are REALLY really pretty shoes that would look awesome with just about everything. If you have narrow feet and aren't prone to blisters, I'm sure they'd be great; sadly, my feet are the opposite of that.

Sexy but not so comfy
I bought these shoes after seeing them online and falling in love with the style I could tell they would be the perfect sexy sandal of the summer. However, in no way are these shoes comfortable initially at least not for me... One I don't mind adjusting the straps although you do have to adjust them, two the zipper is tough which is annoying, and three is the comfort level I needed to wear these the next day and I am use to a certain level of discomfort wearing heels pretty often (my poor feet can attest to that) but these wedges caused uncomfortable rubbing on the sides of my ankle but mostly on the heels of my feet (the painful pink skin before a blister appears.) I did not have time to break them in so I ended up getting the dr. scholls heel rub prevention foam to stick inside of the shoe and now they're nearly perfect. I also think these may have been meant for narrower feet as I have normal feet not narrow or wide and I could feel a slight difference.in the width of the shoe.
