Sam Edelman Women's Lea Platform Loafer Dark Merlot 9M

The shoes are so cute and were exactly what I was looking for style wise for Fall. I should not have listened to the reviews that suggested going down a size because while I'm between a 5.5 and 6 in shoes, I went with the 5.5 based off the reviews and they were such a tight fit, there's no way I would be able to wear socks with them. They're so uncomfortably tight.

Loved the shoes but they were way too big. Reordered a 1/2 size down and still too big. 1/2 size smaller might have done it but not available
