I just want to say these shoes are great. They are typical of Jessica Simpson quality and fit. I have two other pair of shoes from her collection and they both fit true to size. The patent leather version of these may feel a tad snug but keep in mind patent leather is plastic! I don't recommend sizing up because the shoes will be too big. These are the perfect shade of nude for darker skin tones but on pale skin they might look a bit pink. I also purchased the black but I am not as fond of this style shoe in that color. I am very pleased with the nude but I will be returning the black. If you have shoes from the JS collection stick with the size you wear the most. The shoes look quite high visually but really do not feel that high. I wear heels typically once a week and I find these to be on my comfortable list. So happy I have finally found the perfect nude shoe. I love that there is no platform so these shoes are not too trendy but are stylish and I believe will be a timeless piece of my wardrobe. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do :)
