I've had a similar pair of Palladium shoes for four year and love them. I ordered these since the soles were getting pretty worn on my older pair. Since my older pair were a size 8 1/2 I figured I'd be safe ordering the same size since these are the same brand. Well, that was a mistake! These were huge compared to my older pair. Honestly, they felt a whole size larger when I tried them on. I returned this pair and didn't order another size b/c I didn't want to pay shipping to keep returning shoes that don't fit. I ended up having my old pair re-soled and I'm so glad I did.
