Love the construction and look of this shoe!  It's hard to buy shoes over the internet.  I actually ordered 4 pairs of these in different sizes, both narrow and medium.  The mediums were correct in width but the length ran large.  I usually wear a size 8 which translates to a 39.  Those were huge.  The 38s were still big.  The 37s were closest but a tad too small.  Because one of my feet is slightly longer than the other, one shoe fit but the other had my toe bumping the end of the shoe.  Basically my problem with all the shoes was that if the heel fit in the heel cup, the raised toe portion didn't hit in the right place and vice versa.  The leather is a little stiff but I think with wear it would soften up.  I do appreciate Amazon's free return policy so that I could try several sizes.  I'm bummed none of them worked out.
