" I am in love with the Rylan bootie! The bold colors, wedge heel and casual styling make this an excellent transition from summer to fall. The shoe runs true to size, and my size nine feet did not look gigantic! While the height may seem scary, the shoe is light weight and balanced. The toe hole is the correct size (not too wide or narrow) and shows off your Anise nail polish perfectly. These are a MUST for any fashionista's wardrobe. "

" Run - do not walk - away from this shoe! It looks adorable on the website, but terrible in person (at least in the yellow.) I was so disappointed when I opened the box and saw these cheap looking sandals. The fit is awkward, and the colors are not accurately represented online. "

" Beautiful color, fabulous style, terrible fit. I ordered a half size larger as this is a pointy toe shoe. My feel could barely breathe! I tried exchanging them for a full size larger, and my heels fell out of the back of the shoe. The cashier at the counter remarked that a LOT of people were bringing this shoe back due to fit issues. It's too bad, because where else can you find a kelly green pointy toe pump? "

" I love the glitter bootie and design of the shoe - however the fit is terrible. The center seam can be felt along the top of your foot, and the toe hole pinches. I have a narrow to average foot, and felt as if I were squeezing my feet into a shoe at least a size too small. I would suggest going up at least a half size and investing in some liners. Great concept - poor execution. "

Almost, but not quite
" Shoe fits true to size and has a comfortable, every day heel height. The ratio of glitter to body of the shoe is off however, and I felt that the black and white pumps had an odd ratio. They needed to have more black glitter to balance out the starkness of the white body of the shoe. They fit well and gave a good silhouette, but were not what I was looking for. Unfortunately, they went right back. "

" These pumps run a full size too short - and with that they ended up being far too wide. In person the silver glitter looks rather cheap, and looks as though it came from a discount store rather than DSW. These went back ASAP and were replaced with the SM Beasst pumps in dark purple suede. If you can locate these babies, run, don't walk to buy them! "

" Beautiful fit, but the color is terrible! On the website it appears to be more of a turquoise blue, however what you actually receive is a dark teal color. Definitely not what I was expecting! The fit however, was fabulous and they were super comfortable when I wore them around my living room. Unfortunately due to the color discrepancy, they ended up going back to the store. "

" I actually bought these in Rose Gold Sequin - but for some reason this is showing up under patent leather. They are slightly snug, but so adorable and the color is stunning, I'm willing to suffer. I would suggest with this particular style that you go up a half size if at all possible. "

Sexy Red Sandals
" I bought these initially for Valentine's Day, but they are so comfortable and adorable they will have to stay out all year long! Perfectly true to size with a stable heel, the Romeo sandal will be a perfect match for your feet. The red is a true red, without an orange tint to it. "

Love my Pumas! <3
" Satin and suede uppers combined with silver accents make these the perfect casual sneaker! Rock them with jeans, yoga pants or shorts, and you're sure to be fashionable and comfortable. There is not a lot of "sole" to these, so if you require more support from your everyday shoes, I would suggest investing in an insole. They run true to size, and do not rub the back of your heel. Definitely make Pumas part of your summer wardrobe! "

Perfect white sandal...
" I bought these in white (as it was the only NON-patent leather color) and was pleasantly surprised by how cute they were in person. They run true to size, have real leather uppers, and don't pinch your pinky toes. I would recommend an insole if you live in a warmer climate, as the synthetic foot bed will cause your toes to slip forward. However as far as length goes, they are true to size, so as long as your foot is correctly positioned. "

" Although the zebra print is gorgeous, and the red heel adds the perfect pop of color, these are ANGRY shoes! I could barely make it through a full day of work at my desk job because it felt as though my toes were being amputated. They were initially very comfortable when I left my house at 7:30am, but by the time lunch came around, I had to change into my emergency flip flops. I'm not sure if they just need more breaking in, or if I have to lose a toe somewhere... "

" Love the black snake print flats. They run true to size, unlike some other Heaven flats that I have purchased. Unfortunately I bought a half size up based on previous experience, and by the end of the day they were having trouble staying on. They are adorable however, and definitely in style. "

" Love these shoes! The marigold is definitely a bright yellow without being the shade of a highlighter. Like most Michael Antonio shoes, they do require a period of stretching out before they become comfortable enough for an 8 hour day of work. The platform helps with heel height, but these are definitely "look at me" shoes. I am going to purchase the Coral next - really wishing they would provide this shoe in Cobalt! "

The must have boot for the year!
" Real leather, outside zipper and a perfectly proportioned sole. What more could a girl ask for in her boots?
The Lakke boots run true to size. I had purchased a 9.5 based on other reviews, but had to exchange them for my usual size (9) once I tried them on. They have a comfortable toe box, are not too tight across the foot, and the zipper slides easily up and down.
They are narrow in the calves, but as someone who has narrow calves and ankles, I appreciated the slimness of the design.
Yes, the exposed zipper does jingle, but as long as you're not stomping around in a library I think you'll be fine. It's not an overly loud jingle either - but if you're someone who needs absolute quiet in their shoes, you may want to look elsewhere. "

" I absolutely love these slingbacks! They fit true to size (I have a size 9 foot) and the slingback style allows for perfect heel fit. The cheetah print is very fashion forward, and the knot across the top adds to the fun factor. The heel is stable, comfortable, and best of all - gives great height without any pain! If I could give extra stars I would! "

" Bought these for my sister for her 16th birthday. Who would have thought that converse could be classy? She lives in a climate where it snows frequently, and her usual chucks weren't up to the task. She loves them and says that they are very comfortable right out of the box. They do run true to size, however if you are ordering these for a woman - make sure to select 2 sizes lower than your usual size. My sister wears and 8.5 and I bought her a men's 6.5 for a perfect fit! "

" Love my purple shoe lover tote! It is very large though and serves as a better "overnight" bag than a shopping tote. It does however hold at least two shoeboxes (if we're talking pumps and not boots) and looks awesome hanging from my coatrack when not in use. "

Not a fan
" Purchased these in the off-white (cream) color and honestly I'm very disappointed. They look adorable on the model, but in person they are very thin and way too wide for my slim calves. I may try and keep them as padding for my FRYE boots, but the look is more ace bandage than fashion forward. "
