Do my shoes fit?

[pineneedles]

First post here...please forgive if my pictures are wonky! I bought these shoes last week and probably spent an hour trying to make up my mind about the size. A week later I'm still hung up on it. The store did not have the next half size up (or whole size, but I think that would have been way too big). What do you think - are these too small or are these just my size? (Pay no mind to the weird ankles here...I was trying to bend down and take my own picture from ankle height. )

One more pic, if it helps.

I would go a half size up

I think they are just a little too small.

Okay - taking in mind there is no half size to go up to (including on the internet, because boy, have I searched!), do you think that the the "too small" verdict is enough to where you would be SO distracted by the fit that you wouldn't even focus on the shoe? They're pretty comfy, so that isn't an issue, at least.

This could go either way for me. Your foot isn't spilling off at either side, so I think if they are comfortable, I would keep them, since you can't find the 1/2 size up. Ideally the 1/2 size would probably be the correct size for you though. If your toes slide forward and off of the footbed while wearing, then I would return them.

It looks like you are sliding your heel back to convince yourself that they fit, but they're really too small. (I've been there myself!). Try walking around and then snapping a pic or looking in the mirror after your foot has shifted forward.

If you need them for a wedding or something for an event and it has to be that shoe and it was inexpensive, it's fine, but if you're just adding a shoe to your wardrobe I'd pass.

I think they're too small as well.

Like kare said, if it is something you NEED them for, I'd get them. If they're part of your daily wardrobe, I would return them. I've gotten shoes that I've LOVED (and thus wanted to wear them a lot), and always regret buying it too small since my feet are hurting by day's (or night's end). Now, if they don't have my size (and I can't find them online), I tell myself it wasn't meant to be.

You girls are freaking fantastic. Thank you for telling me your opinions. They *are* for a wedding, as a matter of fact. I may want to kick myself for it, but I think I'll hang onto them since it seems like the smallishness is subtle, and they really are pretty comfy even after trotting around the house in them for awhile.

Could you stretch them out a bit using the sock or ice method?

[pineneedles]

I'm intrigued...what is the ice trick?

[315bride]

Google "ice stretch shoes." Or get it done at a cobbler. I want to say mine charges <$10 for it.

I definitely don't think they are offensively small at all. Your toes don't hang over and your heel doesn't *really* hang over. You have to really stare to even notice. If your feet start sliding forward when you walk, add some Foot Petals Tip Toes, and these will help keep your feet in place.

I agree they are not ridiculously small, but if they are long term shoes go up a half since they are for a wedding you may be good to go!
