I'm a shoe freak so this is my 5th pair of Sailor pumps (two bought at full price at a local store, two other pairs bought at that "other" large shoe site).
As is often stated, if you are a true size, you may find you need the next size down, but since I have wide feet, the 8.5 fits perfectly.
I love the style of this shoe, with the flourish of the ruffle down the front. They look like dance shoes e.g. tango or salsa, although with a rubber sole (what you find everywhere now), you would have to use duck tape or some other tape to slide more on a dance floor.
I'm looking forward to wearing this pair very soon.
