I bought these shoes for a choir concert, and ended up standing in them for 5 hours straight. The other singers near me were miserable in their higher heels and different brands, some even ended up slipping their shoes off during the concert.  But my feet were happy and I had no foot pain at all the next day. They do run small, like all the reviews indicate.  I ended up buying a full size larger than I normally wear. Amazon makes returning things so easy, do like I did and order 2 or 3 sizes all at once, then just ship the ones you don't use back.
