Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 35 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Comfortable and True to Size True to size. For reference, I wear a medium 6.5 in all brands. I think the skimmer is a pretty shoe that is more versatile than a flat/ballet style. May 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by classy and comfortable! I have seen these for a while in the catalog and online, but wondered if I would actually like them in person. I just got mine yesterday (in black) and they are gorgeous! Not only that, they are really comfortable! I will definitely be ordering more pairs!! May 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by very nice quality but not ideal for flat-feet people Very nice quality but is a bit uncomfortable and hard on my flat feet. April 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great shoes nice looking, goes with everything and fits very well. So glad I ordered these. April 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Very attractive and comfortable! Love the shoes! They fit great and are true to size. I bought them in orange and receive tons of compliments. April 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by comfortable but 1/2 size too big Skimmers in my usual size 6 were slightly big, but resolved with heel inserts to hold my foot in the shoe and keep from walking out of them. Nice heel height feels better than flats. April 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Shoe I love these shoes! It took wearing them to work for about three days for them to get really comfortable (at least on my feet), but they are very comfy now! April 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beautiful shoes! I got these in the begonia color and they are the most beautiful color of orange! I plan on wearing these to a wedding in May and can't wait ti put the whole outfit together. They are very comfortable as well. I would highly recommend them. April 5, 2013

This is Sara from J. Jill. Thank you for your question!

We have found that our Snake-Embossed Skimmers are running true to size for a medium width foot. We would recommend ordering your usual size.

I agree with JJill. I ordered skimmers, and followed the advice of others to order a size bigger. I wear the same size as you--6.5 in flats like moccasins and loafers. I ordered a 7 and it was BIG and WAS LOOSE like wearing flip flops, which you don't want in wearing covered flats, you want them snug like dance shoes but comfortable. I ordered a 6.5, and it was perfect. I'm truly overweight with wide feet but I'm only 5 feet in height. In heels and certain brands, I wear a wide. In flats, I wear mediums. I am an active urban walker, in a very active and strenuous career, and a 10 to 13 mile hiker. The 6.5 was just fine, and though it will need some breaking it, they are comfortable and safe enough to take San Francisco urban walking, which includes hills and stairs. However, I wouldn't wear them in the rain, because they are exquisitely flattering to ruiin in bad weather.

Going up a size may not help depending on your foot. If your foot runs narrow you might be ok.

I say no. I thought the size 7 fit my size 7 foot like a slipper. They ran true to size for me.

I found these to be a little snug....hoping they will stretch a bit although they are man made material...otherwise I like them very much!

We’re glad you like our Snake-Embossed Skimmers! Our stores do not carry shoes at this time, mostly due to space restrictions. When we have a sizing recommendation or any valuable fit information for our shoes, we always offer it here on jjill.com. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us, and we will be sure to pass along your suggestion.

I agree, but once you find a style you like, you'll find it repeated over & over with variations each season. At that point, you have a safe bet!

Our Snake-Embossed Favorite Skimmers in Begonia are a beautiful bright orange. Begonia is an orange that has red tones in it, but is definitely an orange color.
