These are gorgeous shoes, and they are relatively comfortable. The heel is not too high, and the sparkle of the straps and shine of the silver heel are exactly what I need for an upcoming wedding. I ordered true to size, and the length is perfect. If you have a narrow or average foot, the shoe should fit you perfectly. My foot is wide, and the straps are just this side of comfortable. If you have a wide foot, you may find they are nearly too snug. If your foot is extra wide, you may want to consider a different shoe. The straps have no give like a leather heel, and cannot be stretched. Other than that, they are a beautiful, quality shoe at a reasonable price.
