These shoes fit me perfectly. My true shoe size is a 7 and a 1/2 wide, but I usually go with an 8, and it works with no issues. These seem comfortable upon the initial try-on. The heels are very sturdy and seem supportive. I opted for these vs. a stillhetto heel, because the stillhettos tend to be less comfortable for me. In my opinion, even the most comfortable heels tend to stop being as comfortable as the night wears on. At the very least, I was able to walk around in them quite easily. Also, the photo doesn't show it, or maybe it's just my eyes, but these are irredescent silver.
