I ordered these in Sandstone and they are all I hoped they would be. I love them. I thought they were so ugly they were cute, but my husband doesn't think they are ugly at all, just cute. They are certainly comfortable, but I think the size runs narrow and you might consider ordering a half size longer to compensate. Size 8M usually fits my foot well, but when I was fitted for my first
Earth shoes (Allure and Ivy) from a local store I was walking out of size 8. Those styles have a wide high toe box. I was fitted for 7 1/2. I ordered the Nolita from Zappos in both 7 1/2 and 8. The 7 1/2 was too short and the size 8 seemed to be long enough, but it was too snug across the toes. The front of these shoes is narrower, rounded, and rather flat. Even though the leather is soft and supple, I couldn't move my toes under the stitching across the toe of the shoe, and my foot was putting pressure along the outside of the shoe. I felt like I was wearing steel-toed shoes. I only felt worse as I wore them at my desk for an hour. I exchanged them for 8 1/2 and in that size my toes have room to move and the shoes have been absolutely comfortable this first day of wearing. I am wearing these with athletic
socks, which have extra bulk. Zappos’ service has been terrific through this whole transaction; the initial order arrived in two business days and I received the exchange and satisfaction in less than 24 hours.
