Unfortunately, as BEAUTIFUL as these shoes are, even trying to purchase them a full size and half larger, because they are 'pointed toe' shoes, I am unable to wear them at all.  I purchased them in a size 8 (normally I wear 7.5) and couldn't get my foot in the shoe at all.  I returned those and then tried the size 9.  While I could get my foot in the shoe --- walking was completely out of the picture.
