I for one, didn't want to invest a load of money on my very first purchase in case size 7 is a big fit and didn't want to order size 6 as it might be too snug.  AND i...

For quite some time I have been interested in these ballet flats by the brand Tieks .  They are marketed as soft ballet flats that mold to the shape of your feet, providing great comfort AND have a teal sole as a statement mark.    The  Rose Gold Glam pair had caught my eye whilst surfing the net late night as I usually do and found them to be undoubtedly gorgeous!! Rose Gold Glam    I have occasionally visited the website in hopes of placing an order, but the sizing is confusing and I haven't been able to make a purchase.  This time round, I was determined to sort out the sizing dilemma and in order to get a clearer idea of how their sizing works, I contacted Tieks.    I was advised the following by Alex Hurd, "We've found that because of the way Tieks stretch and mold to your foot, most half size women can comfortably size up or down, and often both.  We typically recommend half size women to size d...
