After reading the feed back I bought a size larger than I normally wear and they fit great, possibly slightly long but great for width. I have worn they a few times now and they are the most comfortable high heel shoes I have ever worn. The memory foam base and the shape of the sole both combine to make them really easy to wear and walk in despite the height of the heel and platform. I am definitely on the look out for some more Ellie shoes that I can wear on other occasions.
