This shoes is very comfortable for a shoe with a heel.  They are reasonably flexible. They have a smoothly lined leather interior and seem well made. I ordered my usual size 8 in this and a Clark and had to send both of them back. The Clark was too large, I returned it for a size 7.5 and it fits perfectly.  The Miz Mooz was too tight. I exchanged the Miz Mooz for a size 9 (39) and it fits. Buying shoes online can be intimidating because of sizing, but Amazon makes buying shoes (with Prime) very easy and worry free.  These shoes have a very rounded toe and a heel tapers that in the middle and flares out slightly at the bottom, a little bit like an hour glass shape.  It has a very retro look from the 1920's, very cute with the right outfit.
