I'm usually an 8, but for some reason these were really small on me, my heel stuck out in the back. I traded them for a 9, and these fit all right length wise, but then the strap was really loose. However, I did manage to get used to it, and the sole is very comfortable. The snake pattern really stands out, and they have become my dressier sandals because they really flatter any outfit and go with everything. I get lots of compliments on them. I've been trying to find the black in my size, but it seems to be no longer available :(
