The shoes are better than expected, for very well.

This is a good looking shoe. I wanted an all black one but this was the closest I could get (I got the black with dark grey accents). I average to a women's size 6.5 and since most reviews said these run *very* big, I ordered a women's size 5 and glad I did. They are a teensy bit snug in length, but I think a 5.5 would have been too big. My foot is average width and these seem a bit wide, but nothing I can't work with.
