I was excited about this mule because it was leather and the heel height was exactly what I was looking for.  I usually wear an 8.5 when socks are needed but even with socks my foot slipped around in the toe box area.  It was comfortable to stand in but when I walked around it felt big.  I didn't like the seam down the top of the shoe and overall the shoe looked matronly to me.  I want comfort with updated style.
