When I opened the box, I audibly sighed because they smelled so good. I was told these were true to size. I typically wear between a 7 and 8, so I ordered a 7.5. They were beautiful right out of the box, but narrow. The first time I wore them, I got a shoe bite/blister on the big toe on my left foot. It took a week of bandaids and lots of toe wiggling wearing socks, but I think they're finally fitting now. Just don't pop them on for a full day of walking without being sure they're broken in first. I personally think these could use a wider toe box, so if you usually go with wide shoes, these might not be for you.
