The shoe arrived on time and looked very nice out of the box. The pantent leather gleamed in the light. I unbuckled it with ease. However, when I put the shoe on, it immediately hurt my foot. I wear an 8.5-9 and I ordered a 9. They run very small. I would go up at least half a size. Once they were on, I didn't like the way they looked. Too much toe cleavage. Overall, this shoe is very awkward in design. Its really long and skinny in design and fits abnormally. I won't recommend these shoes. I am returning them without hesitation.
