Love love love these classic strappy heels. The dark nude is so pretty with the gold hardware (strap buckle and tiny heel accent). They fit (mostly) right out of the box, as other reviewers have commented (I have a size 7 wide/high arch foot, and normally wear a 7 wide or 7.5-8 in regular shoes). I ordered these in 7 wide or 7 C/D, and they look/feel great. As my pinky toe could use a tiny bit more room under the toe strap, I will walk around in these and 'test' them out to see just how long I can wear them comfortably. Otherwise, the strap holds my foot in place and keeps the rest of my foot from sliding around, which makes for a confident strut (they are sturdy and sexy)! I will most likely walk around in these shoes with a thick pair of socks to get them worn in slightly faster (a trick my mother in law taught me for my wedding shoes). ;)
