text: Definitely size up on these. I normally wear an 8 but have very narrow feet. Previously I bought another pair of these in my normal size and thought they fit until a few hours into the day when I noticed they had been cutting into the back of my heel on one side as if I had a rubber band around my foot. This time around I bought an 8.5 and they are exactly the right length (though a bit too wide for my narrow feet). They are very comfortable and I can wear them all day while walking around with no discomfort. I walk a minimum of 2-3 miles a day so comfort in a flat is a must for me. They look fantastic for the price! The bourbon color is gorgeous, although my pair seemed to have been sitting around for awhile and needed some leather conditioner right out of the box.
