The shoes did fit as expected, size-wise. However, they are very stiff and hard, so I would definitely expect to get some major blisters trying to break them in. I did end up returning the shoes immediately because I had bought them to go with a dress that I bought from another supplier on Amazon. The dress was such poor quality so I returned that, and the shoes were a moot point thereafter. Had the dress have worked out, I may have kept the shoes...but they are thin with no support, and would have been very uncomfortable to break in. So, I probably would've still ended up returning them.
