I usually run about an 8 in most shoes and sometimes 7.5, so I initially ordered a size 8 in these. They were too big so I returned them and picked up a 7 instead. They were perfect!! Comfy, but no true heel support like the PatriciaII have. Love to wear these around for a quick trip to grocery store, but opt for sneakers if I have a lot of walking to do. (Bad knee and back)
