"I wear an 8 1/2 and ordered that size. When I got the shoes, I could put them on, but when I tried to walk around in them, the front of the shoes on the sides were excruciating. The suede was nice, but the gold appeard to be lame'. I simply needed them for the one occasion, costume party, but I couldn't get out the door in them, I was in so much pain. I know that I wear an 8 1/2 because I tried on other shoes in the store that fit and I also ordered other shoes in this shipment that fit. Too bad because the price and design fit my budget, but the shoes didn't work for my feet."
