SOUL Naturalizer Idea Ballet Skimmer Flat

I love the look of these shoes and in person they even look better. However, I think they are not true to size. I had to order a half size larger than I normally wear because the medium is extremely tight for me. I could not find a wide to try on, and hate the hassle of returning, so I went with a half size larger. They sometimes slip when I am walking, but the regular size I wear felt extremely tight and was uncomfortable. I am hoping that they will feel better after I wear them a few more times. If that is the case, I will be buying another pair or two in other sizes.

Looks nice but it the fit was not the best. Normally I wear a 8.5 regular size from this brand but may need to order the wider version for this model as I got blisters just below my my ankle bone as the edges where there’s a small strip of elastic kept rubbing on my skin. I have to wear bandaids or socks as footlets have to be higher than the edges. Not very attractive to have to do that. Very narrow fit in the front. Two weeks after wearing them daily and my feet are still a little sore after.

I wanted this shoe to fit; I tried it on in the morning because shoe experts have said that the best time to try on shoes is this time of day. The result was the same - it was REALLY tight. Now the toe bed was sufficient for the size 8 that I ordered but there is no extra room at all nor flexibility. The design of the shoe, the material it's made of, although manmade is good. It just seems a bit much money for the way it doesn't give a little; don't know.

These fit my foot oddly. The outside of them were really comfortable, but the inner part of the shoe (where both shoes met) was a problem. Without any arch support and lower cut, my foot caved inward making it a really weird fit and really uncomfortable. The sole was really comfortable, and the lining is cushioned... but the cut of the shoe doesn't help stabilize the foot. I was bummed to send these back.
