I normally wear a 7 wide shoe (sometimes 7 1/2 depending on the shoe design), so I thought with these being wide comfortable type shoes, I should get a 7. I'm glad I read the reviews first and saw a lot of people saying the shoes were being made smaller now. It's true. I got a size 8 and it's borderline between snug and too small for my feet, though a 9 would be way too big. Otherwise I really like them. They are reasonably attractive (for comfy shoes) and comfortable.
