I bought this shoe in a 7.5 and an 8 since I wear those sizes contingent on style and manufacturer. The 7.5, which I wear in many other styles by other companies, was too small so I ended up keeping the 8 which fit perfect. So if you normally wear a 7.5 and your feet are on the wider side of normal, but not wide enough to order a wide size, then you might want to order up half a size to an 8. I love the neutral beige color as it goes with everything. These sandals are casual yet can compliment a dress or skirt just fine. I love the rugged soles as I do a lot of outdoorsy stuff and need sandals that are multipurpose and offer support. What I also like about these is they offer toe coverage, heal coverage, and bridge coverage, imperative for hiking and the sort. These did not require any breaking in period, I wore them on vacation right out of the box and they were stellar. I vacationed with my daughter's school to Washington DC and NY City where we did an average of 8+ miles of walking each day through monuments, museums, parks, city streets and even gravel. I wore them 4 days out of my 6 day trip including through the airports where they are easy to get on and off. They are not too hot either which I was happy about as my feet tend to sweat on warm days, especially with the humidity in Virginia in summer [May/June]. I have since received lots of great compliments on these shoes. I highly recommend them.
