I usually wear a 7-71/2 but went by the directions from the seller and ordered an 8. It's a good thing I did as they would have been too small otherwise.I love this shoe. The leather is super soft, quality is super good, very nice padding. I am a standard 8M but I had to get an 8.5 in these. I wish they were a little more narrow to hug the foot tighter. No option for narrow though. If your foot is on the wide-ish side, do not hesitate to buy them. I wore these for the first time at a conference where I was on my feet a lot and I had no problems.Unfortunately I had to return it because the material is hard and hurts my toes, the shoe also makes noises when walking, it would be perfect if the material was a little softer in the toe area and didn't make noises when walking.I love the shoes! They are not the typical dress shoes I buy. I usually buy flats. I don't like too high of a heel and the hight of the shoes is manageable to walk in. The only down side is they are slightly squeaky, but after some research the squeaky leather sound should go away after they are more broken in. The shoes are a size 9. No tightness. I usually wear a size 9 and feet measured at about 10 inches.These shoes are the most expensive shoes I have ever purchased for myself, but if these shoes wear well I will most likely purchase other pairs. Time will tell.I love the design of the shoe. I think they might be ok to wear if I get the toe box stretched a little.Beautiful craftsmanshipThese shoes are super good quality and real leather, they fit very comfortably. They are slightly on the narrow side but not narrow shoes. Order your size.I’m a 10 or 10W. Since this brand is tight in the toe box I ordered a 10.5/43. It was still too tight in the toe box. Length was fine. Classic shoe, if it fits.
