Thought the 8 was too big. 7.5 too small. Ordered the 8 again. These shoes are super cute and comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis so it's really great to find flats I can wear all day in comfort.

I LOVE these shoes! They are so so so comfortable (I have the worst feet, nothing feels good) and even my children like them (tough critics) Dress up and dress down, both good.

Good arch support, as you would expect from Vionic. Not sure why others feel there is a lack of arch support. Comfortable right out of the box. Can wear dressy or casual. Fun shoe.

A perfect fit! These are my favorite Vionic flats I've tried so far! They fit true to size for me, are really comfortable, and look pretty on my feet! They have a little sparkle, but not too much! Super happy!

This is my fifth pair of Vionic footwear. I have heel pain and these shoes are so comfortable. These little ballet shoes are very cute, sparkly, but not overly. They seemed at little big (I always wear an 8) but I think a 7½ might be too tight. The color in the picture is correct.

Very comfy and fit well. They have a little more sparkle than I expected it normally would have chosen. However, the comfort is worth it!!!

Very cute flat. I have bunions and these shoes seem to feel comfortable on my feet but I have not had a chance to test them out. They don't have much arch support so I am hoping that my feet do not hurt when I wear them.

I'n an 81/2 N and took a chance on an 8 M. The length was fine but they were way too wide, especially in the heel

I really loved the way these flats looked with the black sparkles; however they were just a half size too big and my foot kept slipping out of these so I had to return them unfortunately. For the price, I thought these should be a bit more comfortable as the flat itself is quite stiff (and thus felt like better quality) however I didn't think it was worth keeping as it didn't quite fit right and I am between sizes.

I really wanted to like these. They are so cute and sparkly and the arch support is amzing.... but the toe box is not tall enough. The top of the shoe pressed down on my big toes. Trust me that is not comfy and a deal breaker for me. I wear a 7.5, that size was right, medium width was perfect on my standard medium width foot. Super cute, plenty of comfy room if not for the dang big toe issue.

Loved these shoes when they arrived. So cute! Felt good on my problem feet, and I was so pleased to have cute shoes that felt comfortable. However after wearing them only 3 times, several of the little beads fell off. For shoes of this price, they should wear better!!

I ordered these in my normal size, size 9 and they were just a tad big--my heel slipped out the back and it was a little too long. I exchanged them for a size 8.5 and they fit perfect. The arch support is awesome. The only problem is that the taupe color was scuffed off quite a bit on the back ankle portion of the 8.5 when they arrived. Bummer! I will be reordering in a different color. Hopefully no issue there.

I love the Voinic insoles so decided to try these. They rub very little which is always an issues. Great support for a flat. I have knocked some of the stones off but I've been rough on them. Would purchase again!

Even prettier in person!
Needs better arch support, lime the flip flops have, but I'll just add a little pad.
The heel does dig in at first, but will be fine when broken in.
Pleased with purchase, but no 5 stars for inconsistent arch support from Vionic.

I just got these in the mail and put them on to walk my dog to test them out and break them in. They run a smidgen too big - I usually wear 8¼ in flats and my heel was slipping and the back of my ankle chafed a little bit after a 20 minute walk. For flats they are very comfortable. The material they are made out of seems to of very high quality and the interior is very smooth - almost feels like suede which keeps my feet pretty warm so I would not say that these are ideal for hot summer days but at least the material seems to absorb some of the moisture that normally accumulates when you wear cheap flats. They are very cute and I am hoping to buy some extra padding or inserts to make the fit a bit tighter. The price is a bit steep for flats that are not really a perfect fit so we shall see!

Great looking shoe, would go with anything. However, the toe box too short for my toes. Next size would be too big. I wore them around the house several days, still painful toes on one foot. Have to send back.

These ballet flats have a graceful cut and a nice little bit of sparkle that allows them to work for both dressy and casual occasions. I like a stronger arch support, but these shoes provide much more than typical ballet flats. The toe width is fairly good too. I have several foot problems--a neuroma, nerve damage from a previous foot surgery, and not enough fat pad on the bottom of my foot--so it's hard to find comfortable shoes. These flats work better than most dressy shoes. With a metatarsal pad, I can wear them with reasonable comfort for an evening out. It's a good shoe, and if you aren't dealing with a problematic foot, it's probably even better. I wear an 8 in most dress shoes, but found that an 8.5 worked best in this shoe.

Very nice shoe. Classic flat but with edgy stud detail. I always order size 9 in Vionic shoes, but this shoe was too short. I returned and will try half size larger.

These are great supportive flats. I have several pairs of Vionic shoes and love most of them. The right foot was a bit tight in the toes for me this time. I wish they were just a bit more comfortable.

These shoes have a lot of structure and a good arch support like all vionics, but they were both too tight in the toe box AND you walked out of them because heel too loose. They are cute, but not cute enough for the pain.

I was excited to try this ballet flat. As I get older, my feet get tired and sore quicker. While these shoes were comfortable during my work day (mild walking throughout the day), they were not so good walking around the mall for an hour straight. They rubbed on the back of my heel causing it to bleed. I ended up using mole skin to cushion the area. Disappointing since I was really hoping these would be "the" shoe for me. Also disappointing because now I can't return them. Hoping they will eventually break in and I won't need to use the mole skin. My search continues for "the" shoe. I know it's out there somewhere. Overall, I would not recommend these shoes to anyone. They were just "okay."

These look cute but run large, slipping off the back heel. Trying half size smaller to see if that fits better.
