True to size and they're Stevies so you know its good quality. If you don't wear pumps or aren't used to stilettos, its not bad..I'm definitely not, these are my first pair of stilettos and I only started wearing pumps 2 years ago. Im a sneaker/ comfy footwear kinda gal and I was running around my office in them when they were delivered. They add that extra umph when u walk too.
