text: Beautiful shoes.  Should have pay more attention to the other reviewers. :(. I normally wear an 8 1/2 so I ordered a 9.  It is too snug for goal comfort.  I didn't return it because I am hoping for a little stretch in the shoe and perhaps less swollen feet in the cooler weather.  They didn't have a 9.5 available in the color I wanted otherwise I would have returned.  A full size larger than my norm is a huge surprise for such a pricy shoe!  Thankfully, I bought on a really good sale.
