Ok, I finally caved in and bought a pair of Beketts! After much venting to my husband about how hard it is to find a color I can wear
.and how IM needs to make more colors so impatient people like me can choose what they want
now 
. and how I like the style but I'm not sure I
love them for me
Yet, here I am.

I saw the navy hawaiian print ones and fell in love. I like that the flower print brings some femininity to the style as well as that touch of white to break it up a little and I also love how it's a deep Navy that can pass for black. Almost like 2 shoes in 1.

I'm a true 38.5 in pretty much every shoe, flat and heeled so I bought the 39s. I'm not worried about length as much as I'm worried about the width by the toes. I just hope they don't run narrow.
Much thanks to all the ladies that have shared sizing info and mods for newbies like me to use when doing research.
I shall post mods when they arrive!
