Although I am a size 7.5, I got women 8 size shoes for toe width. These shoes are regular width-maybe a inch wider around toes, so luckily it's not narrow like other shoe brands, so it doesn't pinch and squeeze toes together, very comfortable.-roomy for your toes to stretch a bit. If you need it wider than that for your toes-maybe a bunion (as a woman), get men's shoes…for me it would be men's size 6 for women size 7.5. I don't like crazy color-why did manufacturers pick those colors-you can't match your clothes with…yuk. I like more solid colors, “boring”-conservative styles that men shoes have, so I found these dark blue, aqua-turquoise brand design and a bit of dark purple around ankle shoes(the purple blends well with the blue, so you don't see-notice it. I have seen a lot more nurses, doctors wear these, the cushion is great for working and standing on feet for long hours. No heel pain, and no squeezed toes pain. Also, like my shies to be light, not bulky and dead weight…don't make my feet-toes sweat. This is my second pair… first pair, I got a size 7.5, but it just fit toes…that's why I got size 8 (length wise almost same as 7.5, but toes is wider). I like some new balance, and adidas styles, but found Brooks is much kinder to my toes and heels, especially for walking and standing too many long hours. Can change-add just a tad more cushion for balls of feet, keep in mind feet swelling, so don't make toe area narrow width.
