These shoes are extremely comfortable and the fabric is gorgeous.  These seem to run just a little large, but not enough that it's any sort of problem for me.  Someone else may want to order just a half size smaller, because as they stretch a little that half size may turn out perfectly. The espadrille is comfortable and makes for a solid, stable feeling shoe, at a height that is just low enough for comfort, but high enough not to look stodgy.  I have checked prices for this shoe around the web, and with my Amazon prime it was the best deal out there!
