Handsome, streamline shoe that looks equally great with jeans and with dress slacks.  I bought the black and the navy. The shoes are well made of soft pliable leather and have a true stacked heel, which is hard to find these days.  Out of the box, I was alarmed by how tight both [pairs seemed (black more so).  While the 7.5Ms were uncomfortable,  I initially thought the 8M would be too big.  Since they are such great looking and hard to find shoes, I decided to chance it.  Since the leather is soft, I put on a pair of thick socks, squeezed my foot in and wore them around the house for day.  It seemed to worked like a charm, but after a day walking around the city, I wished I had gone up a half size to 8.  My at home stretch worked well enough to avoid blisters and pain, but I was too aware of my the shoes on my feet. I think within a wear or two, they will be fine but my recommendation is to go up 1/2 size.
