I love the look of these shoes, and apparently they're quite popular, because I had to really shop around to find them in my size. Normally, I wear a 7.5B, but these run large (the 7.5 was literally flopping on my foot) so I bought a 7. That's fine in terms of size, and the shoes look really great, especially with jeans. Inside, they have a plaid wool lining that's unusual and pretty, and I like the slightly higher height of the heel. Each time I've worn them, I've gotten compliments on them, but that said, I can't walk around in them for very long or my feet start to ache. There's virtually no support in these shoes. I don't think the fit is wrong, because if I'm just sitting at my desk, I can wear them all day with no discomfort, but if I have to walk any distance, I pay the price in terms of aching feet. I didn't buy them to go hiking in them, but I did expect to be able to wear them for an afternoon at the mall, walking around shopping, and it was a big disappointment to discover I can't do that in these shoes.
