I ordered the 7 1/2 - which is normally the size I wear, and they fit well.  The first second I slipped them on, they were NOT comfortable - as the leather needs a little wearing in.  I just put them on wtih some thick socks and walked around for about 30 minutes and that helped a lot.  I wore them the next day to work, and they were as comfortable as I would expect high heels to be (they're not slippers).  These are very pretty shoes, and I'm sure the red is gorgeous!  However, I would NEVER pay the full price for them.
