I really like these shoes, but have to give them a 3 rating because they hit at a spot on the side of foot where it caused a blister and got so bad that the blister popped as it continued rubbing untill i could go home. Even if they didn't rub against the side of my foot, they aren't comfortable for long term wear.  i also acknowledge the rubbing iss due to the shape of my foot, as i dont see many people having this problem, but i also have to point out that my other flats dont do this, so it was a real bummer. On the plus side, these shoes have a very classic, sleek design and while I think the other Jessica Simpson style with the toebox is cute, I'm not a fan of the squared toe look.   As most of the posters wrote, I agree this shoe is about a half size to one size small. If you like your shoes to have some extra wiggle room for your toes, then I'd recommend getting one size bigger since the straps will keep your foot in place. You can try it at Macy's prior to ordering online. There is a bit of toe cleavage, but I don't mind that.ut works better for the shape of my foot. Buyer beware, these shoes are a narrow fit, so if you have wide feet, it will not look flattering at all.Lastly, there is  about an extra quarter inch hidden wedge, so this flat has a heel height of about 3/4&#34; . It's nicely padded and well made.
