I love these shoes and can't wait for warmer weather! After reading other reviews, I went with the size 8.5 even though I normally wear a size 9 AND I have wide feet. I was worried about the strap across the toes being too narrow, but there is plenty of room! I haven't worn them out all day yet, but they seem to be really comfortable , I love that the heel isn't too big, and they look great! I definitely recommend them, but would maybe go down a half size...
