First time such a tight size 39... I’ve always worn 39, sometimes even 38. But I’ve never worn 40 in my life and maybe that’s what I should have gotten. It’s very tight, resulting in chafing, and also extremely uncomfortable along the edge, where the seam is so poorly stitched that it literally pokes you like a pin. Note that we’re talking about a branded company with expensive footwear, which in no way justifies this kind of construction. I wonder, in this case, what less would a cheaper equivalent ballerina shoe have? I reserve judgment on the tightness, because I only wore them for a short time, since I received them this morning. But as for the seam, as I show in the photos, I don’t know how that will be fixed.

UPDATE 03/05/2026 The shoe was worn with a very thick sock and at the same time was blow-dried along its entire length with heat, as I wore it... then I walked in it and wore it around the house. I can say that it improved sufficiently, as I finally wore it outside without socks and without a problem... of course, I was sitting and didn’t walk much. However, they are still a bit tight... in short, it’s a tight/small size 39
