ok,for starters i never bought a bcbgeneration shoe,but this shoe is a beautiful.a little heavy,but the color combination is just perfect,it works for almost everything,its high ,but the padding inside makes it cormfortable to wear,i usually wear a 9 but got it in 9.5 as i had already read from a few sites that it ran narrow.so i am glad i bought the 9.5 and it fits great
