This season, I often see Mary Jane-style Velcro sneakers from all brands, but I had given up on them because they seemed like they would fall off because I have small feet. However, these sneakers fasten by crossing them, so they won't fall off, and the thick sole makes them look bigger, which is great for me since I'm short. They are a little heavy because they are thick sole, but I think you won't notice them once you get used to them. I wore the same size as usual, S, and it was a little loose with thin socks, but it's just right with normal socks. They are quite wide and can be finely adjusted with Velcro, so some people may want to go down one size. However, they are not too big and stay firmly in place, so they are fine for people with small feet. I was undecided about whether to get black until the end, but I chose ivory because it seemed too heavy and it's spring-like. Surprisingly, they are not too cute, so they go well with casual clothes like denim. P.S. I liked them so I also bought the black one. I was worried that they would look heavy, but they didn't look as bulky as I thought they would. I'll use them depending on my mood and outfit.
