Shoe is well made and looks good. However, this model runs a half size large. Every shoe in my closet (for years) is an 8.5 W, so that is why I ordered ( have to buy most of my shoes online, as not many stores carry this size). Tried it on, but it gapped severely in the heel ( width OK, but a tad too long). Luckily, exchange for an 8 W was easy and painless and the 8 W fits fine
