My shoe size is 9.5 in most shoe brands. I have a number of Schutz shoes, and this one fits true to the brand (i.e., a bit narrower than most other ones). The design of the heel is interesting and makes the shoe more stable than a stiletto. I love the multi colored straps, which are fairly comfortable and not too loose on my narrow feet. I can comfortably wear these to work all day (mostly a desk job with some time standing) and would not hesitate to wear them on a night out. However, I would not recommend these if you are planning on doing some substantial walking (&#62;10 blocks) unless you are used to unpadded sandals.
