Bernie Mev womens Cuddly Mary Jane Flat, Black, 7.5-8 US

Need more options: I certainly didn't "expect" them to fit as they do, but "Somewhat small" is not a problem.Fit? Not what I expected; more snug, but conformed to my feet.As for how long, it's probably between "Couple hours" and "All day," but I wanted to lean toward the high side.Width: Actually, "Somewhat narrow," but molded to my feet after a couple of wearings."Good arch support": No, you wouldn't wear these for a stand-up job, running or other exercise. For my purpose, that's okay with me; they almost fit like socks with soft soles.I needed cute, comfortable, casual shoes. After seeing a pair of Bernie Mev shoes on a complete stranger at DisneyLand and asking her about them, I knew I had to order them. Another thing is that there is literally no extra toe room, which initially concerned me. A review I read before buying these had discussed how they would stretch. I questioned the length stretching; however, they are stretch elastic, woven on the bias; the length did "relax" just enough. Don't expect the "thumb width" between the end of your toe and the toe end of the shoe. I had been wearing US Size 9 in, shall I say "less expensive" (dare I admit cheap?!) shoes. The 39M which showed to be 8-8.5 US was fine for me.I also purchased the Bernie Mev Catwalk Black Ballet Flat, also 39M and gave them the same sparkling review.

I bought these for my daughter as school shoes and she's loving them. The came "cuddly" made us think maybe they would be soft, so I ordered her a pair in the Pewter color. When they arrive we were both surprised to find that Pewter was not a soft grey shoe but actually more of a dark silver shoe. Not so shiny that they look like dress shoes, but they do have some shimmer to them.We though for sure they would end up being uncomfortable because the material was more metallic rather than soft and fluffy. If nothing else maybe the piece that goes over the foot might be itchy. As it turns out these are extremely comfortable even made of a metallic fabric. Somehow the metallic weave doesn't irritate the skin at all and it's just as comfortable as any other shoe.My daughter wears a women's size 9, I wear an 8. I tried on her shoe surprisingly didn't find it overly large on my foot. So I thought they must be too small for her, but they were an exact fit. These seem to conform to feet and do so without making it look like your foot it busting out of the sides or the top of the shoe. My daughter says she feels like these shoes make her feet look "slimmer".She wears them with no-show socks and then also without socks. If she's going to have them on all day at school she wears them with socks. Any other time she wears them without socks. They're comfortable for her both ways. She has them in the "40M" size, and she's a typical size 9 in most women's shoes. She likes these so much I will probably be buying another pair in a second color for her. They're cheaper than so many of the other similar types of flats out there!

I have a bad ankle that swells. Sometimes I can’t walk very well. So I have to wear comfortable shoes. These are stretchy and very comfortable. I get comments on the color of them all the time. I usually always wear a size 7.5 in shoes. I think I ordered a 7.5 in size. but I probably should have ordered an eight. They are just a bit snug but I can still wear them.

I first found Bernie Mev shoes a couple of years ago, but now they are all the rage. I've worn them so much that I go through a pair in less than a year. Usually, it's the inner sole that wears out. The stretchy elastic fits any imperfections in my feet. They are very easy to slip on and run errands in. I like this particular style because it's not too frumpy-looking like some of the other styles. However, watch out for the sizing! I wear a size 7 shoe. That's usually a 37 European size. My first pair of 37 fit great. The second pair of 37 was a little tight but it stretched out. The third pair of 37s was too tight in the toe box and they never stretched out and they squinched my toes, even with no socks. This is terrible for your toes. Since none of my other shoes felt tight, the problem is not my feet. Also beware... I've seen many of these shoes in different styles in different catalogs and the sizing conversion is sometimes different. Did Bernie Mev is change their shoe sizing over a couple of years? So when in doubt, order a size up. I moved up to a size 38 and these really fit, even with socks.

I first bought a size 11, because although my feet measure for a size 10 and 1/2, I wear orthotics in my shoes. The size 11 was so small I couldn't even get my whole foot in there. So I ordered a size 12 - I thought "surely a size 12 would fit me"! I received the size 12 shoes, put in my orthotics, then I was just barely able to get my feet in, with my toes pressed right up against the end of the toe box. So I figured I would need a size 13 (if they made a 13), so I'm guessing that these shoes run two sizes too small. I don't know if the shoe sizes are off across the board -maybe it's only in the upper range of sizes, but I'm saying that if you wear a size 11 or larger forget it - these are not going to work for you. I'm guessing it's the same old problem I run into with so many shoes that are made in China: Chinese women are mostly smaller than Western women, and have smaller feet. It seems like every time I buy inexpensive shoes that are made in china, they never fit me.

The shoes are very comfortable "if" you get the right size. It does not matter if you find a size that fits. If you reorder another pair using the same size they will more than likely be too small or too large. This is not based on one occasion. It has happened to me several times. Doesn't say too much for my intelligence at this point. If you do happen to get a pair that fits they are comfortable and cute.
