“I wore these shoes for my wedding and they were both sophisticated/timeless and comfortable! I am typically a size US 8 and sized up to a US 8.5 as suggested by the website. My ankles are rather narrow so I did have a slight problem with the back strap falling off when doing things more extreme than walking. This was easily fixed by some ankle grip stickers I bought on Amazon. I wore the shoes for all my dance lessons leading up to the wedding and they did not take long to break in at all and were very comfortable. The satin is easy to clean with some mild soap if you get any scuff marks on them. I definitely recommend!”
