My husband picked out the color for me to buy, but the shoe itself I wanted. They look much better on my foot than on the computer. I got a 7 instead of a 6 1/2 just incase they would be tight on my toes; that was the best choice I could have made. I would not have been able to wear a 6 1/2, like my other sandals are. So you may want to go a half size up, but I am not giving out advise. The elastic fitted tight when I first tried them on, but I haven't worn them out to see how it adjust. They are very high heel shoes so you may want to bring you some flats if you will be walking for a long time. If you just want a pair of sandals to "turn heads" then these will do that. They look good and expensive.
