I have tried several pairs of wedges over the past few weeks and these look and feel the best of the bunch. I run between a 7.5 and 8, and I got the 8 and they fit well. In the photo the bands look like they will be stretchy, but the backing is leather, so they are not. If your feet are not narrow, might be good to go to the larger size. The soles are this nice soft felt material. Very comfortable.
