"I wanted a low heeled ankle strap pump since I have been seeing them everywhere in the pointed toe style. I have wide feet (size 9) and narrow or pointed toe shoes always give me problems so I have to go a size up when I do buy them. I got a 9 1/2 in these and they fit like a dream. They are a bit more rounded but still have a slight (very slight!) point. I'm glad I went a size up though because the 9's would have been a bit tight since the shoe is still a bit narrow."
