These shoes are very comfortable- even when they are too large. I went through two pairs (that were too large) prior to finding the RIGHT size, which ended up being a size-size and a half SMALLER than what I normally wear. I have to say, I am irritated that I have had to send back two pairs of shoes within 2 weeks of each other (shipping, re-ordering, receiving, shipping, re-ordering, receiving), but I look forward to getting the right size this time. They are worth it! So comfy.
