"This is a GORGEOUS shoe and I knew I had to have the pair when I saw them. They didn't have my size in store, so I had to "best guess" what size to order and have shipped directly to me. I could tell while trying the other sizes on they probably ran large, so I went with a smaller-than-normal size to order. Even with a half size smaller than I normally wear, this shoe is STILL too long/big. Did I mention they're beautiful? That and the fact they are perfect for my outfit I am wearing to an event are why I decided to keep them. I'm having to put in a heel and insole pad in to make them work, but hopefully their fabulousness will outweigh my discomfort. 3 stars based solely on their sparkly and beautiful look!"
