"I am a 7.5, but I thought with this I may need to go up half a size. I was wrong. The 8's were too big. The exchange were super easy and customer service was very helpful. I got 7.5's and they were much better. I also read up on how to stretch the patent leather a bit so they would feel more broken in, so I put a hairdryer on them for about a minute, then wore the heels with thick socks. Perfect. I love the color, I was concerned they may be too light, but it's great. Very versatile shoe. Good for work, going out to dinner with friends, weddings, etc."
