I ordered this sandal after reading a review on another site.  It does run a 1/2 size large, so I ordered a 9 (instead of my usual 8.5).  The heel height isn't noticeable, since this sandal is so supportive.  The ankle strap allows for a good and secure fit.  I liked that the peep toe styling was low, only a small part of the toes show.  I was pleased with construction.  If you are a fan of Seychelles, you don't be disappointed in this sandal.  Its my 5th pair and I am happy with them.
