This shoe is classy and beautiful but I wear a size 8 normally but thought I should order an 81/2 just in case. Good thing I did. These shoe are still tight even though it's half size larger. I am disappointed. I brought these shoes for work but I think I will only be able to wear them on a dinner date where I am being picked up at home and sitting thru dinner. Definitely do not wear these shoes if you plan to be on your feet for a long period of time. But they are pretty....
