I have sensitive feet that blister easy. These shoes fit true to size. I wanted a bit more cushion in the bottoms so I added an insert. Therer was enough room for it and the size is an 8 and that is what I typically wear. They seem roomy at the toe too. The thing I love most about them is the heel is sturdy and the walk is soft and quiet. I think I will order the black ones. I have the brown ones. The only negitive is that the flap that lays over the laces can get in the way of the pants and seem bulky in that area.
