I bought this shoe originally in a size 38 in white for my daughters 19th birthday.  A size 8/38 is what my daughter & I wear.  I highly recommend ordering the next size.  I had to reorder in a size 39 and the fit was much better.  The sandal is well made, comfortable & cute but we found needs a break in period to get the leather to work with your feet.  My only 1 star is given for the length it took took get the item shipped.  It took 9 days and I paid for shipping.  I usually only buy an item if it has FREE SHIP but the sandal is what my daughter wanted.
