does anyone own any of the little ballet flats they are currently selling? or any gap flats, really? just checking to see if they run true to size or small, before i order some online. thanks.
I tried them on. I think they run a little bit small. I am usually an 8 in brands like Nine West, and they were a little tight. The 9s were a tad too big, though. They are really cute in person, especially the metallic ones - they're sort of muted.

I tried them on in the store, and was frustrated because they didn't make them in half sizes. I'm a 7.5 and I tried on the 7- too tight, and the 8 was of course too loose. I would've gotten them if they had fit.
I have the ones that are tweed with a mock-croc toe and heel. They're not on the site anymore to post a pic.
The fit is slightly small and yes, no half sizes. I put a heel liner in mine and they are decently comfortable. I can't walk in them for very long because the mock-croc leather is really hard, so they have no give in the toe, and that hurts after awhile. But the ballet flats seem to be much softer, so perhaps that won't be a problem.

mine are so cute, but I am very disappointed that they give me blisters. I have tried to break them in, but it's no use. I pretty much plan to only wear them if I know I will not be doing any walking, like going out to dinner!
