I have never worn these. Frankly, I just have too many shoes. I think that these are too cute to just languish in my closet. The uppers are crocheted and the insole area looks like a faux espadrille. They are marked a size 8.5 but i think they fit more like an 8. I have included measurements for reference. Measurement taken from the sole-heel to toe: approx 10"
