This shoe runs narrow, which is ultimately why I returned it.  It's an attractive shoe, so I didn't want to return it, but I also didn't want to take the chance on breaking in the suede only to discover that it was still an uncomfortable fit.  The ball of the foot area was so narrow that I could feel a burning pinch without even taking a step.  It's possible the suede upper would have stretched out, and therefore created a little more wiggle room to alleviate the ball-of-foot narrowness, but who really has time to break in uncomfortable shoes?

The suede and the glossy stacked heel were both nice, and the suede had enough give that the top of the shaft didn't dig into my ankle.  The laces are slightly weird, although they're attractive----they're made out of some of waxed twill or cotton fiber or something, but they're very coarse and don't slide smoothly.  That could be a positive or negative aspect, I suppose, but I personally hate to spend more than 10 seconds tying my shoes.

The upside is that these shoes have a good toe shape----it's not-quite-almond, not-quite-rounded, and it's very pretty and dressy.  These would be great casual workday shoes for someone with a narrow foot.

Lengthwise, the sizing was as expected.  I normally wear between 8.5 and 9, and I bought the 9, which was plenty long.  The only issue was the width....
