I got these shoes after reading that they run narrow because I have a narrow foot. They do - a bit anyway. They are long enough - maybe even too long, so I would say that people who say they run small mean they run narrow.  They are great looking pumps - not too pointy, not too round so they should stay in style well.  Super comfortable! Wore them for hours at a wedding and they were so comfortable I totally forgot I wasn't wearing flats!   Now I want them in another color too!
