I will update this review when I receive a size up. I bought these in a 41, which is said to translate to a 10.5-11 US. I normally wear a 10, but I erred up because European shoes have tended to run small in my experience. These were still way too small for me to wear. They hugged the top of my foot like a vice and gave no space at all inside the shoe. I am returning them and already ordered a size up. I REALLY hope the new size fits. The reason I re-ordered and gave the shoes three stars is because these are clearly well made, sturdy but still cute shoes. They are a little heavy, and do make a bit of a thud when walking, but they are attractive and versatile. Had this pair fit, I could have easily worn them with jeans, dresses, or work trousers.
