I wish I could say I've talked myself out of buying these, but I really, really want them. Really.
I have these in 9.5EE and they fit wider than AE #5 in 9.5E, which I can't wear, and more like the EEE. So I would say they are at least as narrow as a Park Ave in 8.5D but not much more. If you can wear AE #5 in 8.5D (or even C), these should fit you well.
The Gherardos are probably my favourite shoes and I'll likely be wearing them tomorrow with a DB navy Corneliani suit. I think I've said it before but it bears repeating: I have yet to wear something (dressy of course) that these don't go well with. From navy suits to grey flannel to cream linen... I love these shoes! They are darker IRL than the first pics show. If you want/need brown suede shoes, these won't disappoint.
