I love this Brookline shoe. It is very lightweight and a great heel height for me as a sufferer of osteoarthritis of the knees. Very fashion forward and a beautiful deep red just what I wanted. I wear a 9 most of the time but chose an 8 1/2 as requested by previous buyers from their reviews. Glad I did a 9 would have been too big. Happy with this purchase after finally receiving the correct color and correct size-- thank you Kate in customer service!!
