I love the lines and the look of these shoes, plus the hard-to-find bright yellow color was exactly what I needed.  I received lots of compliments on them when I wore them to a rehearsal dinner.  The downside is that they were not terribly comfortable.  The toe opening rubbed right on the cuticle of my big toe. When I wore them around the house to break them in a little, I noticed that they were rubbing up and down on my heels. So on the night I wore them, I used those gel strips that you stick in the back of the shoe (heel grips). This may have been a mistake, as I ended up with  two blisters on the inside of my heels from the gel strips rubbing on them. Maybe they run a tad large, but I always wear a 7 1/2 in Ninas and could not have worn a 7 in these. They are beautiful shoes, great if you are not going to be doing much walking around or dancing!
