it’s exactly like the photo shows. I am a 7.5 and I want to wear it during the fall/winter season but I didn’t realize that I choose 7.5 until I got the shoe, but I’m glad I did because if it’s perfectly even with thick socks, and my toes are not being squished. There’s enough room to walk around if you’re looking for a closer fit I would suggest going one size down if you have slim/narrow/straight feet.
