I typically buy 9.5M in platform/stilettos. Based on other reviewer go a half size down suggestion, I bought a 9 and length-wise, they were great. These are incredibly comfortable; but the triangle toe area didn't give my feet enough room. Since my toes aren't a pointed shape, my big toe was hanging off the shoe. There was also one small scuff one heel. I believe the next size up might be too big, but Im returning the 9 and hoping the 9.5M fits better.
