I am typically a size 6, rarely a 6.5 if the shoe is narrow. All the review suggested to order 1 size up and I'm glad I did, I ordered a size 7 since a 6.5 was not available. The shoe is a bit too large for my foot but there is just enough room to fit a couple of shoe inserts/cushions which actually makes this shoe alot more comfortable to wear. The toe bed is not as narrow as I thought it was going to be, it was quite comfortable for a high stiletto shoe and my toes do not feel squished at all. The shoe is very well made and I am very happy with this purchase. These are very high sexy stiletto pumps. Exactly what I wanted.
