They seem to run a half size smaller. Others may not have this issue.  They are so attractive but on me, they did run small and I have other NIne West brand shoes to compare them to.  I wear a size 9 and I did not have any sizing issues with the shoes I currently own by this maker. I bought these in the same size and my foot really felt cramped.  It's not the pointed toe thing either.  My other Nine West shoes are pointed toe as well.
