I'm usually a size 9 but decided to purchase a size 9.5 in the Poudre Patent Kitten Heel. Unfortunately, the heels were still too small for my wide toes and my heels were still sticking out (I should've ordered a size 10 instead). The Poudre color was a DARK beige (had a gray undertone), and one of the heels had a huge noticeable rubbery stain. For the price I paid, I expected a LOT more from these heels and am highly disappointed, so I returned the shoes right away.
