These are really cute sandals. As others said, they do run large; I usually wear a 7 or 7.5. I ordered them in a 6.5 and they fit just fine. The left one felt a bit tight after wearing them all day, so I stretched it with a shoe stretcher & it seems fine today. The gladiator style goes with dresses or pants, and the zipper in the back makes them easy to get them on & off.
