I purchased these shoes after researching shoes for a month-long trip to England and Greece. They needed to be lightweight, packable, waterproof, durable, and comfortable for the varied climates and amount of walking I anticipated. These delivered on all fronts, while being super cute! I have wide feet and usually wear either an 8.5 wide or 9 regular. At first, I ordered a size 9, but they were too big. So I returned them and ordered another pair in 8.5, which fit beautifully. I will say that the material isn't very stretchy and they can be hard to put on for those with higher arches.
