I ordered 8.5 for mom who has a wide foot and normally wears 8w. They were a little tight and buckle is fastened on last hole, they looked ok, but her foot is very wide. She loved the shoe and heel height so she said she'll keep. I tried them, on I'm size 7, average width foot and they looked better on me but they are half size too big for me. So Idk if its true to size.
