These shoes feel like a great fit. I bought my usual size and that worked well. They still squeak a bit since I don’t wear them that often, but only at first, then they quiet. I’m sure, given my experience with other AD shoes, that soon enough they won’t squeak at all. My only hesitation in saying that these are favorites is that they are a bit taller than my preference. They have pretty good balance, I just wish they were a bit shorter by 3/4 inch or so, at which height I would be able to walk all over town in them, they would be that comfortable!
Well made and beautiful. They were tight when I first put them on but loosened up after wearing them around the house for a while. Highly recommend these shoes.
I bought these for my wedding and am delighted with them. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable,
Ordered these for my upcoming wedding. Sizing runs a bit larger than expected but exchanging for a 1/2 size smaller was incredibly easy. They look great but because the uppers are real leather but do require significant breaking in (as real leather shoes require). Some modifications such as an insert for the ball of foot and possibly a pad under the toe of shoe for grip will likely be needed. All of this being said, these are gorgeous, high quality shoes that I know will last for ages and I will happily modify to fit my needs!
They are on the heavy side, but what I needed was a pair of shoes that were elegant that I could wear on stage and sing comfortably. The heel is high enough that they don't look dowdy, but it is wide at the bottom enough that I felt very grounded and stable. I noticed one other person remarked that they squeak a lot and mine did too until I realized if I wore them with hose they didn't. I think it's the big toenail that rubs on the inside of the shoe when you step. I decided to go down 1/2 size because of another review about the foot sliding down into it, which happened to me with another pair of heels. It was the right decision. I do think an anti-slip pad in the front would make them be more comfortable.
