text: I usually wear an 8W, ordered a Rockport along with this shoe, both in the same size, and this shoe was a bit bigger. It was a tad bit longer, so the main problem I had was that my heel was slipping when walking. Also, there was considerable damage to the inside side of the right shoe, like something had crushed and wrinkled it or something. Unfortunately, they don't carry a 7.5W so I will be going with a different shoe. I think it would be totally fine a half size down, for me. Disappointing.
