I initially was nervous to buy these as there was zero reviews, but I'm glad that I did! I ordered an 8.5 and they came as expected! I really enjoy the thick elastic bands that secure the shoe onto your foot, although the band by the toe looks elastic, but has a firm non-stretchy material sewn onto the inside that prevents any stretching. I'm sure that's because it allows the shoe to be easier to walk in, unless it was just a design choice, in which case I'm talking out of my butt.The shoe itself is a little on the longer side and less on the wider side, so my foot looks a little chunky in it, but all-in-all I still enjoy wearing them! Easy slip on and slip off!
