The first piece I received was defective but Amazon did a good job of shipping a quick replacement. I'm 7 in flats & heels ordered 7.5 in this based on reviews in this & other sites.  I bought the grey tumbled leather and it is exactly what I needed, a versatile, textured neutral that complements lots of casual outfits - denim, shorts, skirts. It was initially a tad difficult to pull on but the leather on the shaft gradually softened to give a comfortable fit. I probably could also fit US 7 length-wise but as the leather is rigid around toe, the 1/2 size up is a good idea to give enough wiggle room. I love this so much that I'm contemplating another in  brown tumbled leather but it is currently out of my size.  WIll be keeping my eyes peeled for it to be re-stocked.
