I have been a women's size 10 regular width all of my adult life. Depending on the shoe type I can go up or down a half size if my size is not available and still be comfortable in the shoe/sandal. These seem to be almost a whole size bigger than my normal size, so if you are honest with your foot size, I would size down a half or even whole size when you purchase these or even size down in the width if you can. Other reviews mention the size issue, for the most part I don't find that to be true in my case, but in this instance, yes do size down.Because of the shape, style and weight of these shoes I can pull off them being almost a whole size larger. The material that makes the upper part of the shoe is a stretchy, almost canvas-like material that I am guessing is supposed to be hugging your feet and stretch when you walk, because these are larger than expected they are not hugging my feet. If I lift my foot off the floor and flex my toes, the shoe will just fall off.They are very light and have some cushioning in the insole that I suspect will not stay "cushiony" for long and the cushion is not secured to the inside of one shoe. It's just flapping around in there. The sole is a rubber like material that seems like it may be even a little slip resistant in the heel area and is very flexible. They seem to look more "pointy" on my foot than in the photos. I got them in the "nude" color. Since people's interpretation of "nude" can vary, it would be more on the "tannish" side of nude versus the "peachy" side.Overall I do like these shoes. They are comfortable and lightweight. I am wearing them with white capri pants and they look great with the outfit. If I got a smaller size, I think I would like them even better.
