I am wearing these shoes for the first time today and they are quite wonderful. Let me elaborate:

Size: Perfectly true. I take 8M in most shoes but find half a size up more comfortable in some closed-toe shoes. 8M is exactly right here. My toes have wiggle room without the fit getting baggy.

Comfort: No breaking in necessary; everyone from toes to heels to bunions is happy even without any shoe inserts. Both upper and lining are made from supple, breathable leather and the rubber outsole is pleasantly grippy. The insole is completely padded. Heel height is very manageable.

Appearance: I got the Cenere which is a chameleonic dusky olive colour - greenish under fluorescents and brown-grey under natural light - sounds complicated, but it's a great versatile neutral. I was surprised at how well it worked with my black-and-grey outfit today. The colour gets a shade darker at the toe tips and the heels. The leather does look scuff-prone so I would be careful about walking into things. The shape is almond-toe and reveals just a tad of toe cleavage.

These are nicely made, comfortable, classic pumps that I will be wearing with many outfits for a long time. Furthermore, they come at a very pleasing price. I almost never buy the same model in shoes more than once, but I am going to get these in another colour.
