I wish these came in half-sizes. I typically wear a size 9.5 and have a number of Schutz shoes. I bought the size 9 in this gladiator sandal, and although they fit perfectly in the ankle, and fit a little loosely in the calves, they were too short in the toe area. Based on my prior experience with Schutz, I believe that the size 10 will be perfect in length, but too loose everywhere else. If you are a size 9 or 10, you will be very pleased with these, as they are absolutely gorgeous.
