These shoes are really cute, but the heel is exceptionally high, so be warned. The platforn in front helps, but they're so high it tends to push the foot forward toward the very round toe. Many mention they run large, I wear a 7 to a 7.5 in almost all Nine West, bought these in the 7.5. I'm finding the heel slips out, but I don't think a 7 would help because my foot is already pushed to the toe & if they were smaller it might hurt. I think it's the heel height & heavyness of the wedge causing this problem. Not sure if I'm going to keep them. I love the style & look & don't mind a high heel at all, but it doesn't seem like the designer considered the weight and heel height in the design very well. I'm trying some insoles and a heel hugger to see if it helps. Bugs me I have to rig a new pair of shoes to be able to wear them, but will update if it fixes the problem.
