These shoes are terrific looking and very comfy.  They seem to be almost a half size larger, there is extra room in front of my toes.  Still, I'm doubly blessed with large and wide feet so it's great to be able to find a shoe that feels good as soon as you put it on.  The other reviewers were right - the heel slips off!  That seldom happens to me with other shoes.  Anyway, I just ordered some heel grips because I intend to keep these shoes.  They really are attractive, the nickel color is lovely, and my foot isn't being squashed.  If the heel grips work well I just may consider getting another pair of these shoes in another color - they are that nice!
