beautiful, sexy, classy shoe. so sad it didn't ft.  I'm a size 9.  I tried Clarks Briar Dolly --the most gorgeous black patent pump I've ever seen--but the 9 was too big.  sent it back;  the 8.5 was too big. and they had no size 8's left.
so I tried middle of the road on this shoe, an 8.5, and it's way too tight.  I want to purchase another pair but don't want to guess the size, and don't want to have to pay to ship them back, so I won't purchase.  if it were free shipping and free returns, I would do it in a "heart" beat.
