These fit me in my usuall 8 and 1/2 size but they are a tad narrow.  I can still wear a thick sock and I think they will stretch out as time goes on.  It is not noticiable that these are a 2" heal since it is chunky and thus easy to walk on.  The boots I received were the black calf shine vintage.  The picture looks more antiqed than the boots I received.  I love the vera frye style and recomend them to anyone wanting a heal that is easy to walk in.
