They run a little big for me. I'm a size 7.5 and ordered a 38. But that's fine because I solved that with an insole. They mold perfectly to the feet. Premium craftsmanship. I wanted an elegant, quick shoe in my closet and this pair does the job. Very chic. Happy with my purchase. Customer service is good.
