Great shoes! I normally wear an 8 or 8.5 (regular width, not wide width), and I ordered an 8.5. Fits great, no pinching. The straps over the top of the foot are neither too loose nor too tight. The heel height is nice - good for work, but I would wear these for "dress up," too. They are a very good grey color, which (for me) has been hard to find. I didn't want silver or taupe-ish or two-toned, I just wanted grey. These are grey! Two (minor) complaints: 1. They are super shiny (hello, they are PATENT!). I knew this, so it's fine. 2. They have NO traction on the bottom. Just smooth. I should buy the grippy sticker things so I don't skid and break a leg, but ehh.
