Spring Step L'Artiste Women's Parchelle Mary Jane Flat Shoes - Comfortable & Stylish Casual Flats for Work, Walking & Everyday Wear

I've been wanting to buy these for such a long time now, and I'm happy to finally bought them!Sizing seems off though. I'm definitely a size US 9.5, but after reading reviews, I sized down to 9. Even a 9 has a little extra space in the heel, so I'd say a 9 fits more like a 10. I probably could have gone a whole size down and not just a half size.Other reviewers have said their shoes have stretched out over time, but luckily they're leather. Thankfully that should mean they can be shrunk down a bit with some water and some heat.The "grey" color is a brownish-grey, but the photo makes them look slightly more brown than they actually are. I'd describe the image as a "greyish brown" but I'd describe the actual shoes as a "brownish grey".The quality matches the photos, they're well crafted, have even stitching, and they feel sturdy. I think they'll last me a long while.These shoes look very very nice, and they're amazingly comfortable. Usually heels this comfortable severely compromise on style, so I'm amazed these manage to look so nice even on flat and slightly wide feet. The toe box is wide enough to keep toes from feeling cramped, but they don't look overly wide. I'd be fine wearing them all day.My only real complaint is I wish there was a real buckle instead of a Velcro strap. It's convenient if you have any issues with your hands, but it's not my preference.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, but I'd really recommend sizing down if you don't want the hassle of returns/exchanges. I wish they were less expensive so I could justify buying a couple more colors, but I can't really complain when since price is very much reflected in the comfort and quality.
