Yes, I would recommend this shoe. This is a nice shoe. I love it, however I wear an 8.5 and I ordered this in a 9 for those days that I want to stroll around the mall. I want a shoe that is going to go the distance. These shoes are so tight. I let my size 7 daughter try them on and she said the size 9 was tight around the toe area. I'm too old to not be comfortable.
