These are great shoes! They are very pretty and the stones sparkle on top. However, they run very small. I am usually 8½, so I ordered 9 and probably could have gone to 9½. Order up in a size. They are worth it, though. For my wedding shoes under dress.

I usually wear a size 7.5 or an 8; however, the 8 was really snug fitting through the toe area. I reordered the 8.5...hope it works!

These are adorable! I love them from the moment I opened the box. I read the other reviews suggesting a slightly larger size so I ordered a 9 (I'm normally an 8.5) but those pinched in the heel. Sadly the 9.5 is no longer available. :-(

Comfortable & classic. I've had several pairs of Cortezs over the years and they are one of the most comfortable shoes I've owned.

I wear an 8 or even an 8 1/2 in tennis shoes, and I have a narrow foot. The 7 1/2 was a bit too long, and it was pretty wide for me. They are very cushiony and comfortable to stand in. The orange yellow color is really cute and bright.

These shoes are awesome. I normally wear a 9 but based on other reviews I went up a half size and they fit perfect. I got tons of comments on these shoes. They are super comfortable to wear. I would like to have gotten them in leather but I did not see this color as a leather option. I will definitely buy another pair when these wear out. Fantastic buy, you will not be disappointed.

I am old enough to have had the original also, so I down for these, I love them! Thanks for the previous reviews, because I ordered a full size larger! And they fit perfect! Zappos thanks! The shipping was free and super fast (shipped within a couple of hours after ordering). I will be back!

I love the classic old school style of these kicks. The white nylon is pretty cool. Time will tell how easy it will be to keep it clean. These fit snug, so for me I had to go up a half size from what normally fits me, and even then it's close. Zappos again delivered my shoes before I ordered them it felt like.

Great experience. Runs one size smaller, so just order next size up. Good quality.

I usually wear 9 so I ordered a 9. 9s were way too small. I exchanged (which Zappos is the best by far on exchanges) for a half size larger and they are still just a little snug. I would say they are in between a half to a full size smaller than marked. Zappos customer service rocks!

I am old enough to have had the original and these are great! I had the originals in the 70's and these are true to the original with a lighter weight fabric. I normally wear 10½ and needed a 11½. As usual the swap was seamless and the bigger size arrived in 24 hours.

Same great shoe that my son has. My husband saw it and wanted some comfortable lightweight shoes too, because of arthritis in his feet. Zappos it so much better than going to the store!
