I was very pleased when I received these shoes. I ordered an 11n. The fit is a little more medium than narrow, but I was able to put in a heel and sole pad. Now they fit perfectly. They also are very comfortable due to a very walkable heel height.

I love these shoes! They're cute and comfortable. I wear a 7WW but found the 6.5WW were a better fit. The animal print color is also very stylish, but I found black to be a better color for me.

I love these shoes. They are comfortable and stylish. I was looking for an animal print shoe, but not so overwhelming that I felt I was on safari. I will say that Bella Vita's wide width is very wide. I have a wide foot, and it works for me, but some of you kinda wide-footed people might get away with a medium width. Great shoe!

I needed to exchange the pair of 10WW, the size I usually get, but this was a new brand for me, for a pair of 10W. Zappos took care of it quickly. Thanks!

These shoes are very comfortable, and the platform is great. I received so many compliments on these at work that I bought a pair in black for my assistant, and she loves them too.

I bought these for my daughter for Christmas, and they were a huge hit! They are very cute. They will look great with sweater dresses and tights. She is super happy with them!

Very hip looking shoe! Loved the looks and the 9B fit was perfect on my narrow foot. However, the sole is rigid and I simply can't be comfortable without some "flex" in my shoe sole. Alas, am returning.

I love these shoes! They are so comfy and the only heels I can wear due to foot injury.

Love, love, love this shoe. It is great now w/tights but will also be great with sun dresses later on. One word of caution, though the description states a rubber outsolde that offers a durable grip, I would advise adding shoe pads as I slipped a couple of times the first time I wore them. However, that's an easy fix for such a fabulous shoe!

I ordered a 7.5 Wide, and this shoe delivered everything that Bella-Vita promised. Comfy for wide feet. Very well-made. Small open-toe opening prevents toes from squishing through front... doesn't even feel like an open-toed shoe! Platform sole makes walking in this heel bearable. The only reason I deducted a star was for style. It wasn't for me. Perhaps with the studs and the open-toe, the heel should have been higher in order to achieve a more feminine look. (I have very muscular legs, too!) On me, this shoe looked old-lady edgy. For a month, I agonized over whether or not to return them. In the end, I returned them. Just wasn't my style.

Really cute shoes. I have a x-wide foot and these shoes didn't feel extra wide. I can only wear them for about 4-5 hours a time before I must take them off.

Significantly too big & the canvas fabric looks cheaper than the stylish nature of the shoe. Lightweight and comfortable though. Not a winner, overall.

I find it very difficult to find stylish shoes with a wide width. These are wonderful. Never thought I would or could wear heals like these. Very comfortable shoes to wear all day at the office.

These are extremely comfortable! I love these shoes! I went to order the leather ones as a back-up pair and they were already sold out. I highly recommend these!

I normally wear a 6-1/2 to 7EE. I ordered the 6-1/2EE, but they were 1/2 size too big. I sent them back and ordered a 6EE. The width seemed true, and I liked the style because, with the canvas shoe, it can be used as a dressy or a casual/dressy.
