I'm very into unique shoes, and this totally fits the bill. I am a size 8 (sometimes more like a 7 3/4), and was a little nervous to order these in a size smaller than what I normally order, since Jessica Simpson shoes usually have a pretty narrow toe-box as the size gets smaller.  Despite one of the reviews saying the strap slips, and knowing I have a really difficult time with sling backs since I have a narrow heel, I went ahead and ordered a size 8 anyways.  I'm glad I did, as the shoe fits great.  I didn't get any slippage, and I think that is because the vamp sits so high on the front of your foot, and the slingback is just added protection.  These shoes are super tall (ie kinda stripper-like), and the review that talks about the shoe looking "big" is accurate.  The heel is placed really far back to balance the 2" plat, which gives the illusion of a larger shoe, since the proportions of the tall/wide/bright pink plat are in real contrast to the black stiletto heel. A small price to pay for such a hot shoe. The purple and pink parts are suede-like, and the yellow and black heel are patent. Practice walking in them before you go out, cause these suckers are HIGH! But the shoe is in good balance, so they are surprisingly comfortable. Enjoy!
