I like my shoes.  My shoe size is 6 1/2 wide, so it's not unusual for me to order a size 7.  Having read the previous reviews, I decided to order these shoes in a size 8.  I could have probably gone with a 7 1/2.  But since I wear them with rather thick socks, and my feet swell in the summer when I do a lot of outdoor walking, I opted for the size 8.  I think they are a great shoe for the price.
