I wear an 11N and these fit great! There was minimal squeaking at first, but I have worn them quite a lot and don't hear it anymore. Glad I bought them in 2 colors, as they are definitely cute and comfortable.

These are great flats. Expensive. But go with everything. I bought last yrs model in black, which have leather bottoms. These have rubber. Require a bit of breaking in, for me at the widest part of the foot. But my black pair softened like butter. Very nice.

I wear an 11.5N, sometimes a 11N. These shoes fit perfectly in a 11N. They are a little noisy when walking, from the overlapping leather on the toe box, perhaps the noise would go away after wearing them for a bit. There doesn't seem to be much cushioning for the price of these shoes so I'm returning them. They fit perfectly, but just aren't worth the price.

These shoes are super cute, but they were way too tight across top of my foot. I do not have wide feet, and have never had problems with shoes hurting across there. They also squeaked very badly at that point as well, as one other reviewer mentioned. I might try ordering up a half size to see if that helps, but overall, these shoes were not worth the money.

I needed attractive, versatile, and mostly comfy shoes for my vacation and these absolutely fit the bill. It was probably not a good idea to break them in with all the walking our cruise stops entailed, as they did rub a bit at first in just one spot, but they are now perfect. Oddly enough, we caught up with friends from out of state on the cruise and one of them had these exact shoes!

Love these shoes. Does anyone have leather as soft as Cole Haan? Shoes fit like a glove, but I was surprised at how snug they were; I have a wide foot and so ordered 6.5 wide; they fit just perfectly and I was expecting a bit more wiggle room. Still, they're adorable and I love them already.

I loved these shoes, but you must know that Cole Haan's "wide" is anybody else's medium/narrow. If these really were wide enough, I'd buy them it lots of colors - very comfortable and very stylish.

So happy with this shoe. It covers bunions and wide feet and looks nice and is comfy. Finally a sandal that looks and feels nice on my not so nice feet! True to size.

Was just what I was looking for...a comfortable summer flat that can go from the office to the park. The Nike Air tech really helps in the comfort department!

These are rough to break in...I almost took them off after an hour...but a waiter complimented me on them and it kept me going. Two full days to break them in, but oh they are so comfortable now that they are broken in. Those Nike Air soles are wonderful. And the color and style? Adorable.

I am a new convert to Horny Toad dresses, and will keep buying them! I'm 5'7", 155 and pear shaped...this dress is very flattering and easy to wear; all problem areas in the hips are disguised by the cut, and the good fabric. It does run a little big, but not much. I got a medium, and it fits the way I want; not body hugging, more on the loose side.

The reviews are right, this is a great dress! It is so soft & comfortable, and I love the shape - like a fitted tank up top, and A-line below the waist transition. The signature Horny Toad fabric blend is cool and breathable - great for summer. (I don't like the way some of the synthetics - used by other brands - feel, especially in hotter temps.) There are some cute details that make the design exceptional, like the horizontal "pleats" at the waist, and the convertible/adjustable straps, which can be worn several ways. It is, as others have said, very forgiving. I am 5'6", 160 pounds with small-ish breasts and a curvy pear shape. Pant size 12. I have some other Horny Toad dresses in large, and they are just a bit too roomy on me now (I bought them when I was 18 pounds heavier), so I got the medium. It is a perfect fit. It doesn't squeeze or pull anywhere, just fits like a dream. So if you're not sure on sizing, or think you might be in between sizes, go with the smaller option. The only exception might be women with larger breasts. There's not much cup here, which is great for me, but could be a problem for the well endowed. This is really one of those rare "perfect little black dresses". It will dress up or down, and transition to winter with some layers, boots and tights. It's worth the extra pennies for the softness, good quality and style. Love it! And, as always, Zappos is amazing!

This dress is awesome. Very flattering and the material is a nice, thick, soft cotton with a little texture to it. I think the dress may run a little big: I'm usually between a S and XS and the XS fit great.

This dress is absolutely adorable. But do have a few thoughts on it. The material is a thinner material, a perfect light summer material. However, in the lighter lemon color of this dress I felt like it just wasn't a thick enough material so I returned the dress. I also bought this in the black and am still debating on if I'm going to keep it or not. I'm 5'2 153ish lbs. and bought the XS I typically where a Small. The body of the dress is a good fit, but the chest area a little snug.

Just received this dress. Love the color of it, but unfortunately due to the light color and the thinner fabric I don't feel overly comfortable wearing it. I'm 5'2, 135ish lbs. and got the XS, normally I would wear a small but previous reviews mentioned it ran big, I agree. Unfortunately I will be returning this dress.

Very cute dress! Nice fit, perfect length, especially if you're in your late 40's and don't want to wear anything short. I bought the Large. I'm 5'9, 36C, curvy and long waisted.

Very cute dress. Nicely made, and flattering. I got a large and I'm 5'7", and normally wear a size 10/12. The only place it's a little close is in the bust. I'm a DD and there's definitely no room to spare.

This is the perfect summer dress. Great quality fabric. The cut is terrific—it emphasizes what you want shown off and hides the bits that you don't. I just came back to see if they had it in any other colors, and bought the Atlantis light blue as well as another one in black. I do think it runs a bit large. I'm 5'7 and 155 and previously bought a size Large, this time I bought Medium.

I don't like this color. The yellow looks like it mistakenly got washed with a load of jeans. very drab. I also ordered a medium I'm a 36C and the top was too small. I could wear it but it was not the best fit, may reorder in black or Coral in a large. the back is cute but not sure it will stay buttoned.

I am a size 10-12 and I bought this dress is medium going by some of the other reviews. It fit great however, the empire waist seam started at my chest. I didn't like that look so I returned it and ordered a large thinking it would come down lower. It did not, and the dress was considerably larger all over. Just didn't fit right on the top. And I was so disappointed because it is so cute.
