I loved the look of these shoes and am so happy that I decided to purchase them. They are very comfortable and are exactly what I was going for in terms of aesthetic. (They also seem to draw attention, as I have gotten so many compliments on them.) I was worried about sizing, as I find that different brands tend to fit differently. Typically I am a size 8 but I can fall anywhere between a 7 1/2 to an 8 1/2, depending on the brand. Size 8 was perfect, so my experience is that they are true to size. And finally, as usual, SVP prices can't be beat!
