These shoes have quickly become my favorite. They are unbelievably soft, beautiful, and comfortable. I have a wide foot, and these fit me perfectly, width-wise, so if you have a narrow foot, these shoes may be on the wide side for you. These shoes were a full size too small for me. I am normally a size 9, but had to return them for a 9.5, and ultimately a size 10, which fit. Based on other reviewers' comments, though, sizing for these shoes seems to run the gamut.

These are really cute shoes. I'd been looking for a black flat that had good support but I wanted something that was also a little unique. They look as cute on as they do online. I typically wear a 9 in shoes like this. I occassionally wear a 9 1/2. I ordered these in a 9 and they were a tad too small. The elastic on the back of the shoe helps a lot for keeping the shoe snuggly on your foot while walking, going up and down stairs, or running for the bus. The downside is that it pushes your foot forward. This really isn't a downside so much as a reason why you might go for a half size larger. I purchased these for use in Japan and had my mom mail them, so I have to stick with the 9 and make them work. I walk constantly in Japan, so I needed something with good support. I've only had them for a few weeks, but apart from them being a bit too small, I think they have good support. I gave them a moderate score for support just because they're not the best thing available if you're walking miles a day; however, I walk miles a day and I find them adequate.

I love these shoes!! Super cute & comfy. Leather is butter soft. They are not too young/too old for me (age 53). They look great with skinny jeans. I was concerned about the "bronze" color being too shiny, but they just have a soft sheen to them & to me the color seems more like a "taupe", which is really pretty. I had to exchange the 7.5 for a size 7, so you might want to try a 1/2 size down from what you normally wear. I have a somewhat wide foot at my toe base and these are so soft, I had no problem with that either. Definitely worth the price.

These were so, so comfortable in every way except for the way the toe box lined up on the top of my foot right across my bone in an uncomfortable way. I think this is an issue that is specific to me, and I really debated whether to keep them or not. But for this price, I don't want to take a chance that the edge of the toe box continuing to dig into my toe bone. It's totally possible they would stretch, but once I'm spending a lot for flats, I'm very picky. Agree with others that these run a half size small. The black version look just as pictured. I'm having a hard time finding black flats, and these are not my favorite style, but they started to grow on me while I debated whether or not to return.
