I bought this pair for a wedding and have not wore it in a formal setting yet, however, when I tried it for size it fitted perfect. So more updates on that later. As far as the looks, this shoes look amazing, very stylish I can't wait to put it on with my grey suit. I have to say that they run a little bigger, at least in my experience. I am normally size 11 and the first pair on this number had to be returned and exchange for 10.5.
