After reading the reviews, I ordered a half-size up.  I am usually an 8, and I think it would have fit, but the 8 1/2 is comfy and does not slip off.  These are a bit &#34;kooky&#34; with the black, bronze, & silver- but still can be worn as a neutral.  They are extremely comfortable, soft and stretchy.  The sole is a rubber wedge, so it hits the ground with comfort.  Sporty with jeans or a maxi skirt. This is a good brand, and the price was right.  Very pleased with the purchase.
