Ordered these for my daughter to wear to her junior prom. She normally wears a 8.5 and I wear a 8. They fit me perfectly but was a bit tight on her. I notice that with Steve Maddens you have to go one size up for them to fit comfortably.  The shoes are very cute and stylish and can be worn with just about anything. Just make sure if you are a 8.5 you get a 9.
