I bought these shoes for a wedding I am in this upcoming October.  When they arrived to my house I opened them up and tried them on.  They were a bit tight.  I will be wearing these for the majority of the day as I'm in the bridal party.  Hopefully wearing them around the house will stretch them out.  I normally wear a size 9 and pretty much stick to that but I would definitely go up a 1/2 size in these.
