"These are a great buy. I'm not crazy about the flats-gone-low heel, but I was drawn to the neutral match-many-outfits color scheme and their comfort. At first the pseudo-heel made walking feel a little strange, but after I wore them a few times, it seems to have filed down or maybe I'm just more accustomed now. I normally wear an 8.5 or 9 and I had to get these in a size 8, so I'd say they run at least half a size larger."
