I usually take a 7.5M in shoes, but ordered the "Black Glitter Chaufur" in an 8M because my prior experience with Steve Madden shoes is that they may be short and/or narrow.  Unlike reviewers who found their shoes to be too big, the 8M fit me perfectly.  These shoes, like most Steve Madden shoes, are not well padded - hence my four star review. But the shoes do flatter the foot. The glitter is muted and, in one month of wear, I have not noticed any loose or missing glitter.  I am careful, though, to protect it by keeping my shoes from rubbing together.

Because these are stylish and well-made, I would definitely recommend that any woman whose foot does not run wide try these shoes in her normal size.  Borderline sizes, or those with slightly wider feet, might want to size up as I did.  I know the size issue can be confusing but Amazon stands behind its sales and, should the shoes you choose not fit, simply call them or send them a message using their online order receipt in "Your Account" and they will immediately send you the shoes in another size.

There is no risk to trying these shoes because you then have 30 days, or slightly more, to return them should you decide not to keep them for any reason.  If you requested an exchange, you have 30 days from the date of the exchange to return the original pair ordered, and/or the replacement if you are not keeping them.  Just remember that, unlike some online shopping channels, Amazon does require its returns to be in new condition.  Also, shipping is free of charge both ways regardless of the number of pairs tried.  Because it is so easy to exchange and/or return shoes, I now buy all my shoes online.
