I ordered these shoes because I was in desperate need of a "sky-high" neutral, and these lovely pumps did not disappoint.  I normally wear a 9N in heels, and an 8.5N in flats.  When I received this shoe in a 9N (quite promptly, I might add...thank you, Amazon!), I determined that the toe box was roomy and comfortable, but came a little short for my long toes and I felt pressure on the biggest one after about five minutes of walking in them on the carpet.  Undaunted, I ordered the 9.5, which are a perfect fit.  I have since ordered it in black.

The reason I gave it four stars is because unlike that of the size 9, the size 9.5 has some construction problems where the outer platform joins the body of the shoe on the instep/ball of the foot.  So, I am returning them and ordering another pair in the same size and color.  If I see that it's a structural problem characteristic of the larger size, I am returning them altogether, with tear filled eyes.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because they really, truly are gorgeous!
