I'm a true US 8 with slightly narrow and bony feet that are about the same width from heel to toe and my toes line up nicely, big toe being tallest, gradually shortening down to my pinkie toe. No bunions, high/low arch, hammer toes or other irregularities. I usually order an 8 M in shoes and have no problems except for a tiny bit extra room at the sides, given my borderline narrow feet. I have to say then, that these shoes fit very oddly. They aren't really wide or narrow per se. They don't cramp my toes, but are so low at the toe box that there's very uncomfortable pressure across the top of my toes, at the vamp. Yet, the heels are so wide that they flap open sideways then close back continuously, as I walk and keep slipping off, which is so ANNOYING. They are the right length for their size, but omg, those ugly gaping, flapping heels make me wanna cry. I also feel like I might tip over backwards when I'm walking and have no idea why as there is a slight (hidden) wedge at the heel so if anything, I should feel like I might tip over FORWARDS.  I can't add insoles as that would put even more pressure across my toes, so I'm hoping heel grips will keep them on without decreasing the length of the foot bed, too much. All in all, the fit and feel just don't add up so I suspect my pair may be defective, but I live outside the US and returning them would be such a hassle. Definitely not happy with the sizing :( For those of you wondering, there is definite toe cleavage (not an issue for me) and the Silver Metallic Seude is not a true silver but a subtly shimmering pale champagne, almost like a pale nude, which complements my medium olive skin tone beautifully.
