I liked the style of the shoe; it's very attractive. I bought them specifically for work, but they could be used for a night on the town, or a special event. I wear a 9.5, and I tried both the 9.5 and the 10, The 9.5 was tight in the toe box, and the 10 was perfect in the toe box but my heel slipped out of the shoe entirely. I even went into the store and tried the 9.5 wide and that was still too tight for me in the toe. Regardless of the fit issues, these shoes were not as comfortable as my Danskos and my Clarks. I ended up returning the shoes.
