This shoe is heavy and a drag.  It is beautiful to look at on the feet, especially if you have long beautiful feet and painted toe nails.  Ironically, I also think it is functional and therapeutic because, though it is high and a drag, one's feet seats in a relaxed position like standing on an even surface, besides, the leather around the toe box and strap is soft, it is not that type of leather that eats into your flesh.  This will be your go to wear shoe after killing your feet with those sky-high stilettos, and your feet takes revenge on you for trading common sense for beauty.  The shoe is a bit loose on my feet, and my toes protrude outside the toe box.  I ordered a Size 9 in black which is my normal size.  I think a chunky person with medium feet will do well with this shoe because the feet will fill it in perfectly, and the weight of such a person will enable her to glide gracefully in this shoe.  If you weigh 100-115, the weight of this shoe will bear down on your feet as you walk, except you know how to walk high heels perfectly.  That experience will come to bear heavily with this shoe, not because it is high but because it is a drag.  I do love the shoe very much and will walk it with my experience.
