Let me start off by saying the shoe is gorgeous, but there are a few things to note. First of all, it definitely runs a half size small. I am usually wear an 8.5, and my heel was about to spill over the back in the 8.5. Also, the ankle strap is very loose on your ankle, so you have to be mindful of that when walking around. Overall it is a great looking shoe, but it does run a bit small and the ankle strap is very loose.
