Maybe a little bigger than other shoes of this size I have but infinitely preferable to being too small! Bought for a wedding as I'm a bit old and a bit heavy and the soles aren't too thin which has always killed my feet in regular shoes. Strange that I could wear them without pulling the heel, but I'm very thankful for that strangeness. 94 degrees on my wedding day and a little later dancing and lots of socializing, the only part of my body that didn't aches or sweated like crazy were my legs! Would recommend to anyone who wants comfort not style
