I bought these shoes in the turquoise to go with a orange dress I have. The shoe overall is pretty the turquoise color was bright and what I was looking for, the cork bottoms were attractive although I'm not sure how they would hold up. The problem with the shoe was the height. I purchased because they were not 4+ inches but for the style I think they need to be close to the 4in mark. They looked kind of "old lady-ish" to me. The color is definitely going draw the attention to your feet and I really felt they just needed to have more of a WOW factor. I ordered my true size (5 1/2), they fit fine on my larger foot but the smaller was slipping out of the heel. This could be fixed with a heel pad I would not suggest sizing down, the patent is not going to stretch. I've seen these shoes in other colors around the web, they may look better in a more neutral or black but for the bold turquoise I needed more.
