I normally wear an 8.5 in heels, although I'm learning that certain brands of pointy-toed shoes fit better if you size up. That was the case with these shoes. The 8.5 pinched my toes just a little in comparison to the 9. I tried both and kept the 9.

Also, these are called a kitten heel but they're more like a low pump. I've tried low kitten heels and constantly trip. But the height on these is just perfect for a sexy look, and walking easily and comfortably.
