Beautiful shoes!  However, just like other reviewers said, these shoes run SMALL/NARROW. I gambled by ordering my normal size 7 1/2 because last time I went by reviewers' comments to order up 1/2 size, the shoes were too large.  In this case, they are right.  Even if I chose to painstakingly force my feet into them & attempt to stretch them out, I can't keep them because the lace on the back of a shoe is coming off. I'm returning them because of the defect.  Order at least 1/2 size up! If I decide to take a chance on another pair and the lace is not defective and they fit well, I will edit this review to give it 5 stars depending on the fit.
