Sprite-02

So I love the look of these and they're decently comfortable!

I sized up from 5 to 6 to leave extra space for my toes, which I'm glad I did. The toe box/end on these ones are a little harder than the shaker 100 and shaker 65s. I would recommend toe covers and sizing up!

My only complaints are my feet are very narrow so there's space on the sides of the shoe, even with thick socks on. I added insoles and created new holes for the straps to tighten it which helped a lot! There's only a tiny bit of space left on the sides but it's fine. (Baby pin or toothpick works for creating new holes.)

I also wish the bottom of the shoe was a bit different cause I walk like I've got a thick hard block heel or flat stompers on when my foot hits the ground, it's like the dip in the shoe rolls weird. (But I don't think anyone else will find it bothersome!) Doesn't feel as nice as walking in a pair of Shakers if that makes sense.

I've seen some complaints on the hearts/metal digging in to some people's feet, which I agree if you have them on for hours without socks, but with socks I wore them all day without issues.

For reference:

4'10"

wear a size 4-5 in women's

3 in kids sizes

I ordered a size 6 to make sure I had plenty of space for my toes (esp. big toe since shoes like these can hurt your nails if they're constantly hitting the end of the toe box!) If you're in between sizes I'd say go up, but definitely check your size with the chart and measure your foot. It's fairly accurate—36…

I've seen a lot of reviews where people report the sizing of the shoe fitting weird and not like their usual Demonia size. I had this same problem and emailed the company to see what's going on with this style. Basically the mary janes that Demonia carries, tend to have a rounded/squareish toebox that cuts the length of the toebox. I'm narrow footed and usually a 10 in Demonias but in these, my big toe kept hitting the front of the shoe while the rest of my toes had ample wiggle room. The straps were also pretty loose. If I sized up, my feet would flop and slide around for sure because there's a lot of width and the straps are loose. If you know that sizing up wouldn't work for you and you want to make these shoes work, get a shoe stretcher (I got a standard plastic one from Amazon. Cannot be used in boots/anything with a tall ankle strap like the Kera's or if the heel/toe height difference is greater than 2.5 inches.) and leave it in the shoes for 24-48 hours. For the straps, I used a sewing needle to make a hole to make the straps tighter. Then I used a false eyelash tweezer or a Bobby pin, to open up that hole gently, twisting it through back and forth. Now the shoes feel great and secure on me! Fits perfectly. BE WARNED that adjusting the shoes like this means you CANNOT return or exchange them! Only do this if you are committed to making the shoes work.
