"These shoes are beautiful!! They were perfect for my "Mother of the Groom" dress. I'm not used to wearing heels so I was hesitant. The moderate heel was more comfortable than I expected. Although, after 8 hours of wear I was ready to kick "off" my heels! I ordered my true size of 6 and they were fine. However, a 6 1/2 probably would have worked also. I would say they do run a little short."
