This Belinda style is my first pair of Hommerson shoes, and I'm pleased.  Fit is true to size in length and width.  I'm an 8M and bought an 8M.  I have ample room in the toe box even with my hammertoe and bunion.  I wish the back of the shoe hugged my heel a little more snugly, but that's the problem I have with all closed-back shoes.  My heel is much narrower than the front of my foot.  Years ago quality shoes were made with double sizing...for example, this shoe would have been made in an 8B/AA, meaning the shoe is a medium width with a narrow heel.  Unfortunately, manufacturers have long ago discontinued such custom sizing, especially with everything being made overseas.  I will add the small heel grips to the inside of this shoe, and all will be well.  I love the young style of this dressy shoe--I don't feel like I'm wearing my grandmother's pumps.  If you can no longer wear a high heel, try this one.  Leather is excellent quality; plenty of padding.  Patent trim makes it a "looker".  This was my first shoe order from amazon.com.  Great price, no tax, fast delivery, and free shipping both ways--this is the kind of service that will make me order my next pair of shoes from Amazon.
