The good: The shape of the shoe is very nice, not too extremely pointy. I ordered the leopard "print," which is not really a print, but what I assume is what they call pony/cow hair. It is a true flat, no heel -- and it is a beautiful shoe!!!

The not so good: I'm usually a true 6, but have always been a 6.5 in Nine West shoes. All my NW shoes are and have been 6.5. I ordered my usual, but the shoe was a full size too large on me. My sister, who is a true 7.5, was able to comfortably try on the shoe. She said it was a bit tight, but nothing a short breaking-in period couldn't fix. I know this review might be more confusing than helpful, considering a previous reviewer stated that she ordered a half size up for comfort, but still figured I'd share my experience.

The truly bad: they don't have the shoe in any size that could potentially fit me :-(

*************UPDATE (Feb 2013)

Kept checking on this shoe, hoping the 'leopard' would be available in the 5.5 size at some point.

:-) Fortunately, it did just recently, so I ordered them. They fit just a tiny bit snug, which I prefer, since I figured they would be perfect after a very short breaking-in period.

:-( Unfortunately, this time around the pair I received lacked in quality and craftsmanship. The pony/cow hair looked patchy and scraggly, and the pattern/color on the left shoe was noticeably different from the right one. I understand that the 'leopard' pattern lends itself to variations, but they actually look like two very different shoes. Disappointed, I've returned them...
