This is a nicely made shoe, well-balanced and fairly well padded. The vinyl upper will not stretch, so it either fits or doesn't. Mine seemed to run true to size, perhaps a tad large.
In appearance, this is ladylike. It pairs nicely with my summer finery that can't be paired with beige. The silhouette is versatile for most looks, with the exception of slinky evening wear.
Note:  There's something about the pointy shape and the openwork that looks a bit retro, and it's not in a hipster way. The look of the shoe is fine with me. It covers enough of my feet that no one sees the effects of running and the old scars, and it's ladylike without being tarty. I am in my mid-40's, have arthritis (ballet training comes home to roost), have a "responsible" job in which I need to look professional but not seductive, and have occasion to dress up (but modestly) in the summer months.
