I love simple shoes. I am still wearing my first pair from ten years ago, even though they're getting pretty raggedy. The one problem is, especially if you have wide feet, they run small. I wear 8W or 8C/D depending on the brand, and ten years ago after reading reviews, I ordered size 8.5 and they fit perfectly. I forgot about this, and didn't check the label, so when I saw these canvass Mary Janes, I ordered size 8. When they arrived, the toe box was way too small. I sent them back and ordered size 8.5, which turned out to be perfect. The sizing hasn't changed. I recommend that people with wide feet order half a size up! The 1/2 size increase in this case isn't too long on me and the width is comfortable. (Sometimes ordering half a size up means the shoe is either slipping off of my heels or I'm tripping over the long toe box, and the shoe is still too tight, but not in the case of simple shoes.)
