I was a little worried about ordering these shoes, but I had an Amazon credit, so I decided to take a chance. I am between an 8 or an 8 1/2, and between a medium and a wide. I ordered the 8 W in natural. I remember huaraches being very stiff and uncomfortable when I wore them when I was a lot younger. These were a tiny bit stiff for the first hour or so, but after that I had no problems. I have "bad feet" and these are helpful because they have that little bit of heel. Like every pair of huaraches I've ever owned, the heel is loose, so if you have very narrow feet I don't think these would work. Overall, though, the fit is fine and the shoes are comfortable and go with just about any summer wardrobe.
