I ordered these in a half size up (I'm usually a 7.5 and I ordered an 8) based on the reviews on Amazon and it was a good thing I did.  These do run a half size small so order up.  After putting these shoes on and walking around the living room, I really wanted to like them.  They are very comfortable both in the soles and also the soft elastic band running all around the top of shoe that keeps your foot securely in place.  Seems like a shoe you could actually walk all day in.  However, even in the silver metallic color, they are frumpy.  Something about the shape screams orthopedic shoe and made my average sized feet look very wide and potato-like.  If you're looking for comfort, then go for it.  But you'll be sacrificing all style.
