This shoe immediately feels heavenly. The insole is cushiony. The platform style gives height while my foot feels like it is in a very low heeled shoe. I usually wear an 8 1/2 in an open shoe and a 9 in a closed shoe.  The 8 1/2 is the correct size for me on this one. It fits very much like a Jambu Touring, although this shoe may be just a tad narrower. That's hard to tell though because this has so much cushioning, it may flatten with wear.  This shoe fits a slightly wide foot, so I think it would not work for a narrow. The nutmeg color is pretty much like the online photo...maybe a bit lighter in person.
