I absolutely LOVE these shoes, they are very shiny so they are not for the faint at heart LOL. I will be wearing these shoes all spring/summer!! These shoes are very comfortable. I am normally a full size 10 and though these are a teeny bit loose, they are not so loose that they flop off of my feet. I don't think a 9.5 would fit me and i'd rather have my shoes slightly larger and be abel to go out and get on of those shoe cusions to place at the back of my shoe then to have the shoe be too small (and not be able to do ANYTHING about it. Beautiful shoe!
