Like all the others here, I think these run quite narrow, especially compared to another pair of Miz Mooz shoes I have in the same size, the length is the same, but the tops are tighter. I put stretchers in them for a day or two and they fit fine now. I haven't worn them anywhere outside yet, but I'm going to today. They are very good looking and I like the not-brand-new look. The leather will no doubt soften up with some walking, making them even more comfortable. I'm wearing them with rolled up skinny jeans, but will also wear them with a jean skirt. I love them and you will too.
