I'm leaving this review to help with sizing. If you read all the other reviews, you may be as confused as I was. I read everything from "fits just right" to "size up a whole size" to "size up a size and a half." Since we were on a deadline for my daughter's special event, I ordered 3 pair and when those were all wrong, quickly ordered 2 more! I now have 4 pairs of shoes to return.Hopefully, our aggravation will end up helping you.My daughter's actual foot is around size 6.5-7. HOWEVER, she wears an 8.5 in athletic shoes for comfort, due to high arches. So, we started with sizes 8.5 and above. Those were all too big.We then ordered in a 7 and 8. The 8 is the one we're sticking with.All this being said, I measured all the shoes, so that future buyers could hopefully zero in on the ones they need without all this hassle.Keep in mind that I measured across the soles of the shoes, and I measured all the way to the very end of the rubber - not just where your foot would fit in - but the extra mold of the rubber too. The shoes measure as follows:Labeled size 7:10 1/8" long and 3 5/8" at widest pointLabeled size 8:10 7/16" long and 3 11/16" at widest pointLabeled size 8.5:10 3/4" long and 3 11/16" at widest pointLabeled size 9:11 1/16" long and 3 3/4" at widest pointLabeled size 9.5:11 1/8" long and 3 7/16" at widest pointAside from sizing, I will add that these shoes do not have arch support and when we tried to add an insole, it made the shoes too tight. They do have a pretty cushioned insole, just not an arch support.Also, the shoes are every bit as shiny as they appear on the computer screen. I will caution that the tongues of the shoes are very stiff because of the metallic outer material. Sometimes, just pulling the laces out of the top two eyelets will help you get your foot in comfortably. Because of the stiff material, they do make a little bit of noise when you're moving around. So, I wouldn't recommend them if you're going to be wearing them in a super quiet environment. For a dance, they'd be fine.The only complaint I have other than the sizing being so hard to figure out is that the pair we are keeping have laces that are two different widths. This close to our event though, we're just going to keep them.I hope this helps somebody!Was a little discouraged in buying after reading reviews, but I'm so glad I bought them. I got a size 8 and it fit perfect. Not once did I break them in before my event and they fit comfortable, didn't hurt doing the night and the shimmery stuff never fell off. Overall I loved them, got compliments and they were comfortable.I love these sneakers so much - they’re so over the top and sparkly! I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered these but they’re exactly as pictured. The top part is slightly uncomfortable at first but breaks in very quickly. I have wide feet and ended up having to go a full size up in these from a 7.5 to an 8.5. Considering buying in a second color!These shoes are the coolest shoes and so fun. But better than that they actually fit well, expected for the size ordered, and are so comfortable!!I love how these fun shoes sparkle. They were not comfortable at all for me until I inserted my sport insoles. The shoe tongue is a bit long and can jab me in the front ankle, I loosened the laces and it is okay. Super cute.It was shades and sneakers for the theme. I got a lot of compliments on it.These shoes get attention, that's for sure! And I'm not talking about how they look -- they are so squeaky! If you are the kind of person to buy shoes that look like this, though, I think you won't mind the sound drawing extra attention to you. Also, they are not at all breathable, so you can expect your feet to be swimming in sweat by the end of the day. Yuck.I wear a size 10.5 was so happy they fit perfectly!They arrived faster than expected and were packaged nicely so they didn't scuff. They're the perfect fit and very comfortable.You can dress them up or down; perfect for many different occasions.These were my wedding day shoes. So comfortable and very sparkly. Absolutely in love with them.
