My daughter is a sprinter on the high school track team and loves-loves-loves to practice in these. She was told by her coach they are mainly for indoor track use, however, also are working fine for her outdoors. Spikes are for her and I made an error when ordering these - one that turned out in our favor.

Love these shoes! They do run small. I ordered 2 sizes up from my regular size. They are very lightweight and cool. Perfect for summer.

I ordered a size 10, and they fit like a 9. Sadly, I had to return them. There was a big arch in them, and I didn't notice anything particular about the width - that seemed to be fine. They were extremely light in weight and very bright. I'll order the next size up, once Zappos confirms they got my return.

I bought these flats for my teenage daughter who absolutely loves bright feet when she competes. Shellbi says they fit like a glove.

This pair is light and for the high to medium arch, narrow feet. I have received multiple compliments for these shoes.

My daughter runs so fast in these shoes that no one can see how awesomely cute they are. Order one size up. Best customer service anywhere. Period.

I love the colors. I ordered these in my usual size (7.5) and they felt a full size (or two) too small. Also, they are very narrow. They're fantastic in person! Very lightweight and vibrant. I wish they had fit. I returned them and ordered a less showy pair of New Balance.

These shoes are so cool and pretty, the only thing that I really do not like about them is their comfort. They are really small in width and not so comfy. Otherwise I like them!

This was such a disappointment. Love the colors, but arrived and at least two sizes too small. They are going back.

I really love these shoes! I must admit that I had a pair when I was a kid, so when I saw they had these for adults, I has to get a pair. I wear an 8.5, so I was afraid the woman's 8 would be too small, at first it was snug but as the packaging points out, it should fit that way and not be oversized. They conform to the foot after a day of wear, and now they are one of the most comfortable shoes I have. The only problem is that I have not been able to order the brown because it keeps selling out right away in my size.

I am an adult and I bought a pair because they look so darn cute. Well, they are moderately comfortable (I usually wear Birkenstocks) and they visually widen the foot. Really, this is not a sophisticated choice for an adult. I should know better.

I love these sandals! I was looking for a simple, gold sandal for the summer and these are perfect. One word of warning - they are a little uncomfortable during the first couple of wears - the stitching on the inside of the shoe was rubbing the bottom of my feet - but if you continue to get them wet (as directed) and wear them, they break in really nicely.

I bought the red and they're adorable. I normally wear a 9 or 9.5 and in these sandals my toes were right at the edge of the sandal. My daughter wears an 8 or 8.5 so I had her try them on and they fit her perfectly. I've just reordered them for myself in a 10 and I can't wait for them to get here!

Comfortable and slightly big. I normally wear a 7.5 and these fit! So go up a size if you are normally a half size! Bought them in Black too! The black were more stretched out, they felt wider than the red.

I love these shoes. Loved them in brown/tan -- they've lasted forever. I'd been eyeing yellow shoes but being a full-time mom, it's hard to sport yellow wedge platforms at the park. These are the perfect way to adopt this this trend and get a shoe I can wear all summer. Remember that they start snug, follow the instructions to properly place the straps and they will form to your feet.

I bought these for myself and my toddler in the red. The adult sizes run pretty true. I typically wear a 6.5-7 and I got the Youth 5/Women's 7 in the red. They fit well and we're comfortable. The ankle strap is a little tight at first but it gives quickly. The red is a nice deep color, I love it. I'll likely be ordering matching pairs of these for my daughter and myself every year until we have all the colors, I really do love this flat sandal.

I love these sandals. They fit true to size and move well with my foot. I'll wear these all summer long. The silver color goes with everything.

I love these! I am already planning on getting the red ones. It feels like it's part of me when I walk. I dress it up or down. I can wear it anywhere. My friends and family have complimented on how cute that it was gold.
