I have them and while I haven't worn them that much (maybe twice, for a total of about 6 hours), they're still pretty uncomfortable. I didn't get blisters from them but after about 10 minutes of standing my entire foot hurt. Other girls have also said that they are uncomfortable, which really sucks because they're so cute. I guess it's just inherent to the shoe :(

They do run a bit small though. I usually wear a 7.5 and I bought an 8. My toes go up to the very front edge of the shoe. I've found that they're also a bit hard to walk in because the back strap slips a lot. It's sad that these are such a pain because they're so freakin cute.

I do have those. Honestly, I haven't worn the Annabelles long enough to make a good judgment. I also have the birdcage style (pic below) & I wore them for eight hours at the mall the other day. They were so comfy. I have a narrow bony 6.5 size foot - these are 7s and I was so impressed, maybe because I was expecting major pain. HTH some....

I usually wear between a 7 and a 7.5 and I have the Annabelle's in an 8. They are perfect. I know others have found them painful, but I think they are comfortable and I can wear them quite long without any pain or blisters. I do think that the leather softens up a bit with wear.

i think they work best if you:

narrow foot: nearest half size/whole size up

wide foot: one whole size up

i have these and they are comfortable

I feel for you. I wore mine once and absolutely hate them. I sized up one size, and they are the right fit (except when my foot slides forward). Mine need a repair; the bottom sole came half way off one shoe. The backs don't stay up, they are just a pain. I would have returned them if I hadn't worn them and had so much time pass since purchasing them.

Sorry, I don't think you will ever like those shoes. Cute, but not worth it.

mine definitely cut up my foot and gave me like 4 blisters on each foot the first time i wore them (stupid me for walking 2 miles in them on first wear). but now they've gotten better. i sized up but that was definitely a mistake. i wear a 6/6.5 but maybe because i have a smaller foot, sizing up was a huge difference. like drew, my foot slides forward in these shoes leaving like an inch between my heel and the back of the shoe. i got foot petals but they can only do so much. i think i would like these better if they weren't so big! but i've worn them too much so now it's too late.

I had to return mine also. I sized up, and I think it would of been better if I had just ordered my true size. I have a slim foot, and the top still squeezed my toes, but it gave after a couple of wearings around the house. I had that awful gap in the back too, and couldn't keep the strap up
