I was looking for a comfortable, professional shoe to wear and decided to try the Sanita brand since a similar style of Dansko shoe I was looking at was cheaper. The quality isn't bad, though a little lower than what I was expecting for the price that I paid, but the shoe fit didn't work for me. Depending on the brand and style, I can wear a size 8 comfortably, but I have VERY high arches and where the top part falls on this particular style is painful and rubs the dorsum of my foot leaving red marks after about an hour or so of wear, especially when walking around. I considered exchanging and ordering up to an 8.5 or 9 but I decided that the fit on these shoes would have been perfect if it wasn't too tight on my arches and ordering up would probably be too big, besides I had also ordered another more comfortable brand of shoes so I gave them to my younger sister who has smaller feet and a less pronounced arch than I have so the purchase was not a total waste.<br /><br />To sum it up, I had high hopes for this shoe, but my foot anatomy was incompatible with this particular style and fit.
