I love the purple color & style of this shoe.  I wear a size 8 & ordered an 8.5 so I could wear pant socks with them.  Surprise!!  They barely fit & hurt so badly across the front that I couldn't walk.  Am surprised that others said the fit was true to size as I measured these against my other shoes & they were smaller.  I may go for a 9 to see if they fit but price has gone up & no free shipping so will wait.  Very disappointed for me but glad they worked for others.
