I really like these sandals, they are my first pair of Birks. I kept going back and forth in my cart with a 38 (7-7 1/2) or 39 (8-8 1/2) I ended up going with the 39 and should have stayed 38..they do run big, so LISTEN to the other reviews and size down..I am wearing them anyway..they are still comfortable but my heal does feel a bit misplaced.
