I am a size 71/2 in shoes but ordered an 8 because I am overweight & tend to have to wear slightly larger shoes, especially when they aren't offered in wide. I was concerned because normally most shoes, especially heels, do not fit me well & when they do fit they are very uncomfortable. I fell in love with these shoes once they arrived. I put them on & the first thought that came through my mind was, "wow they are comfortable for being heels" Other then them being slightly big in the back because I am normally a size 7 1/2 they fit well, even for wider feet. I was able to wear them all night without any problems or pain. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone, small or large
