I noted the recommendation on the webpage to order 1/2 size larger because the shoe ran small. Instead after reading numerous reviews I ordered 7XW instead of just 7C/D. These were for my neighbor. The shoes were HUGE. Because she has bunions and arthritic feet and a longer second toe, I ordered the 7 C/D and am hoping they are significantly smaller. She really loved the design of the shoe so we will keep trying to get the size right.
