This shoe is super cute, but it ran big and cut into the outside of my ankles. I am normally an 8, but sometimes take a 7.5 in sandals. I ordered the 8 & it was really big; so big, I wondered if a 7 would have worked better. I decided to not try for the smaller size the shoe because the sahpe did not really work with my foot. The top of the shoe cut into the outside of my ankle and I suspect even with a smaller size it would have done the same thing. Was disappointing as it is a a good looking shoe.
