Beautiful sexy sandal, very feminine. I wear a size 8 and probably should have gotten an 8 however,  the 8.5 is very comfortable and looks gorgeous on feet. A little extra toe room is fine. The size is true to fit and the heel is a little high, and really should have been indicated in the description.  The heel is a good 4 inches. Overall an excellent sandal for those special events.  Well worth the price!
