I am between an 8.5 and a 9; I decided with the larger size due to the peep toe pinching/cutting my big toe. Will have to doctor the heel slightly to keep from sliding out, but much better than the bloody alternative!

These shoes are gorgeous! They have the right amount of sexiness without overdoing it. The size seems to be pretty true to size, but the heel still slipped on my size 6 foot. I think this is due to the width of the shoe. I have slightly wide feet and these shoes fit my feet perfectly in terms of width. If you have narrow feet, you may want to try sizing down by half a size. For a heel of this height, this shoe is on the comfy side. My only complaint is the sparkly fabric on the heel of my shoes started to peel back after my first wear because they rubbed on something in the car. I guess I could have been more careful while sitting in the car, but I never expected them to be able to peel back so easily. Hopefully, I can have them repaired if they become really terrible looking.

Sizing: I tried both a 7 (my typical size in basic department store brands like Anne Klein, Born, Nine West, etc.) and 7.5, and I definitely needed the 7.5 in these shoes. I also take a 7.5 in Stuart Weitzman so I wasn't surprised. Overall look: I thought the shape and construction of these shoes were fantastic. Elegant and sexy without being vulgar. However, having purchased the black sparkle version thinking it would be the most versatile, I actually had a hard time matching them to any of my formal/semi-formal dresses. In person, the fabric of the shoes just didn't mesh well with much of what I own - for some reason it actually kind of clashed. For that reason I ended up returning these shoes (with regret, as they are certainly lovely...).

These are beautiful shoes, but they're not very comfortable. I ended up taking mine to a shoe repair shop to have the toe box stretched and even then, I still needed Foot Petal inserts. That being said, I absolutely love them with a little black dress. I can't wait to wear them to my office holiday party!

These shoes are beautiful and feel well made. But they are painful. The toe box is really tight and there is no arch support. I ordered the rose gold color hoping they would be more gold in appearance, but they look pink, not gold. They are really nice shoes, but hurt my feet too bad to be worth it.
