I purchased these for my Victorian themed wedding. I'm a 9.5 shoe but since they don't do half sizes I went to a 9 based on a review I read. However they don't run big as the reviewer said. So I had to exchange them for a 10. The company was very easy to deal with & happy to help me. The 10 were too big so I put in cheap inserts & wore thick socks, so they were perfect. I decided to break them in before the wedding by wearing them to dance class. Everyone there ranted & raved about how amazing they are. Then on my wedding day everyone kept asking to see them & where I got them. A few people even thought they were vintage. Only down fall is they are made from PU & they scuff easily because of it. All in all, highly recommend!
