This is obviously a very pretty shoe. Oddly, one shoe fits well, and the other is very tight. The toe box is very narrow. I went up a half size to compensate for the pointed toe - still too tight.  Okay, with pretty, well-priced shoes, I don't give up easily. I put a thick sock on my left foot, and directed hot air from a hair dryer at the toe, while wiggling my toes. I walked around while the shoe cooled down. It worked! The shoe wasn't damaged by being "stretched". They are no longer excruciatingly painful. The heel height is fine - not so high that you feel that you are wearing stilts! I ordered "Champagne Glitter". They are gold., but that's good , because it's easy to match them to a bag.
