These shoes were exactly as described except they run large. I usually wear a 7 1/2 but bought an 8 because I wanted to add an extra insole for extra padding... the shoe was way to large in length, much to long from heel to toe. they didn't have the 7 1/2 so I just had to return them. I may have had to try a 7 to get the right fit.  They were very nice looking shoes... very sad, I really liked the look of the shoe.
