I wanted to love these, I really did, but sadly they were too short and a narrow for an 8B. I am sure if they had fit, I would have found the shoe I was looking for. Sadly for me, I wore them for a day or so before realizing they just weren't going to stretch at all and then of course couldn't return them.  They fit more like a snug 7.5. Finding nice looking (not old lady clommpers) for walking with hallux ridigus has been a real challenge. Might be a great shoe, but watch the sizing. I'd go at least 1/2 size up, and maybe the next width from what you usually wear..
