I read reviews that said this shoe was super comfy right out of the box - not so for me.  They were atually much stiffer than I expected them to be.  I also have a wide foot but didn't feel I needed to order a size up - the toe straps were a little snug to start but no blisters or anything... they will loosen up with more wear.  I do love the way they look - go with everything from jeans to linen skirts.  Guess I was just expecting them to be more comfortable from Day 1 like my other Aerosoles heels...
