Super shoes for the price. I bought these for a 1920s event. They looked perfect with my outfit. I wear a 9 and ordered the 9. I found them to be a little big, but I bought some heel pads and inserts, so it worked out. I was on my feet for about 4 hours the first (and only) time I wore them, and they were pretty comfortable the whole time. I didn't have the gappy strap issue that some others have had.
