I ordered the black suede and initially I thought I might send them back because they felt a little tight. I ordered 5.5 and that is my usual size or perhaps a 6. But after wearing a couple of times, they've stretched to fit my feet perfectly. I figured they would do so being suede. Very comfortable and stylish. I have the same shoe in the black patent finish size 6 and they are fine if I wear with socks or tights.
