So, it's not too bad. I put the shoes on, and it is clear that I have to wear the material to loosen it up a bit. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8. I ordered an 8. It fits my foot, but when I walk in them my big toes hang over the front. I can deal with that. It's not uncomfortable, but there is a bit of a space between my arch and the shoe. Again, I will wear these shoes because I got screwed with a $30 pair of something similar and I am just tired of shoe shopping; but for the price, and the fact that it is such a reputable name brand, this shoe should be much better constructed for my tastes; however, it will do. The heel and platform height are great, the nude color is great, and they do not hurt to wear at all-well, so far. The picture is exactly what you get.
