The shoe is nice.  Length is true to size but I find them to be a bit narrow (like all Angiolini shoes).  That may just be me - my foot is not wide but I'm starting to get bunions.  The sparkly toe is very subtle.  If you want a bling-y shoe, this isn't for you.  But if you would like something more subdued and classy, this is a very nice, well-made shoe.
