I generally wear a 8 1/2 or 9 narrow shoe.  I purchased this shoe in a size 8 1/2 after several hours of trying on comfort shoes, in medium and narrow widths.  These shoes were economical (on sale) and fit me better than the Naturalizers I tried in a narrow width.  I see that some reviewers found them to be too tight across the top and this narrowness is what makes them fit me so well.  I usually wear them with a thin sock. This shoe is probably not a good choice for someone with wide feet. Love them for everyday wear with jeans and casual pants.  They are very comfortable-lightweight and not bulky.  I love the way they look on my feet and the way they feel.  Great purchase for me.
