I received these shoes, and I love them!  I had read the reviews and most of them said they ran a little big and to order a size smaller. Normally I wear an 8, but I'm sometimes a 7.5, so I ordered a 7.5.  Good choice, they fit perfectly!  The leather is soft and they look very classy and chic. The heel is a little higher than I anticipated, but they are still comfortable and not at all trashy.  I plan on wearing these to a wedding and another formal event, but I would also wear them to work.  Overall, great shoe that runs a little big.
