These are gorgeous shoes but not too comfortable. I realize the heel is five inches and it might just be the way my foot is shaped. I ordered a half size bigger than my normal shoe size  and they were still pretty tight. I sent back the size 7 and ordered an 8. The 8 is a little too large. I think a 71/2 would have been perfect but I don't believe they make this shoe in half sizes. I might need to send the 8 back. I hate to because I really love the shoes.
