Im either a 8 or 8.5 in shoes and skew closer to 8. I was told these would stretch out substantially and to go with the 8 which was fine lengthwise. The trim around the opening does not give much. They are now bearable but my heel got torn up on the first 5 wears, and I had to actively stretch these out with socks and heat from a hair dryer to get them to that point. I don’t have wide feet to the point that I have to buy “wide” sizing “, and these are definitely made for slender feet. I’m only giving four stars because I do think the construction will last and the toe box is lovely compared to the cheap lookalikes. Disappointed these didn’t turn out as comfortable as I’d hoped.

These shoes are fabulous. I tried the dupe (Quince) but it just didn’t work. The comfort of the Freda’s is unmatched and so is the color selection- I got moss green. I am a 9/9.5 and found the larger size more comfortable. Even my mom who won’t wear flats tried them on and was suprised by the comfort. I had a difficult time spending nearly $400 on a pair of flats but I intend to keep and wear them for a very long time. I took them to the cobbler straight away and got rubber soles put on the bottom- for such an investment, I want them to last.
