I gave these shoes 3 stars because they would have received 5 stars for the color, pattern and height, but 1 star for the fit.  I absolutely loved these shoes when they arrived, especially the brown houndstooth!  However they were still tight through the toe area, and I ordered 8.5 wides. I do have a bunion on the side of my left big toe and even in the wide width, the shoes still rubbed painfully on it.  Had I ordered the regular width, I don't think I would have even been able to get my foot into them, and there is no arch support in these at all.  I also had about 1/4" space at the back of the shoe, so they run big in length, but small in width.
