"Although these shoes would have been perfect for my Queen Warrior Costume, they run small; about (2) two sizes. I have been wearing a size (10) ten shoe for a while now & am pretty certain as to what it should look like. Alas, when I put these shoes on I was unpleasantly surprised that my heel was hanging pretty far over the back of the shoe. Also, the strapping is somewhat laborious so make sure you get them right the first time... Good luck!"
