I got these because they were toted as a good shoe for travel and i will be travelling soon. After reading all the reviews I nervously ordered them in my normal size 8. They are big enough that I could have gotten away with a 7 1/2. I normally wear 8 - 8 1/2.  The toe is roomy, but I think that adds to the comfort. The reason I didn't give it five stars is that I've been wearing them for a few days and i feel one side is getting a blister where it rubs on the heel. They are really cute. I think if i had gotten them a half size smaller they probably wouldn't rub and it wouldn't have been an issue.
