Love these shoes. Heed the reviews and order a 1/2 size up. I didn't the first time and had to reorder. The next size up fit perfectly. You can also adjust the fit slightly with the drawstring bow - just like the classic Bloch ballet dance shoe. Got a small blister the first time I wore them, but the leather is so supple they fit beautifully the next time. Classic styling (low enough vamp, but no "toe cleavage"), high-quality leather and construction, I will wear these a ton! The leather bottoms are a little slick, FYI. Looking to get them in other colors too.

I have a narrow foot and found that these fit well even though others I've tried have not fit in the heel. I would buy another pair in another color.

These are beautiful shoes but they do run a bit small. I am a dancer, so I prefer my shoes snug and have never ordered anything bigger than a 7.5 but these were just too snug. I went to a size 8 and they are perfect but they are still a bit narrow and need to broken in a bit. I've never had an issue with a shoe being too small or narrow for my foot since I'm a tried and true 7.5 but these run small so heed the other advice and order a half size up. I think once these mold to my foot a bit more they will be perfect. I was worried about them being slippery since the bottom is like a dance show but there is a small corner of rubber on the heel that grips well so that is not an issue. They are super cute but I got them in hopes of wearing them for an upcoming trip to Europe. I'm still planning on bringing them but they are not the "ultimate walking" flat I was hoping they would be. If you are looking for something more heavy duty but still stylish with a "ballet flat" look, I recommend the Merrell barefoot wonder glove. They're not as cute as these but if you're willing to compromise on style for comfort and convenience (i.e. I could hike in the Merrells and then go to dinner without worrying about my ugly clunky hiking boots or I could walk all around the city in a cute outfit in them instead of everyday sneakers), then get the Merrells. If style is more important to you and you're willing to suffer a bit, then get the Bloch's! They are still comfy but they definitely don't feel heavy duty enough to carry me through a whole day of walking through a city in comfort.

These shoes are really cute and feminine even on a size 11 foot and they don't look "silly". They look professional and cute at the same time. They are super comfortable right out of the box and I am able to put in my own arch support with no slipping or any other problems. The shoes are now my favorites ever because they go great with everything from jeans to a dress. I am getting rid of all my wannabees like them. I love them and highly recommend them to anyone.

I liked these so much, I ordered a second pair. Terrific work shoes that are more durable than others like them.
