I usually wear an 10.5 or 11 (especially in
flats), but the 11 was huge in these shoes. The 10 is perfect, if a tiny bit tight in the toes after several hours. Otherwise, I am thrilled with these shoes. The patent leather is subtle, but adds a really fun kick that makes them look great dressed up or down. I've worn them with skinny
jeans, gray cords, bootcut
jeans, and
skirts and tights and think they look great all around. I was worried the "distressed patent" look would be garish, but it just adds a little interest.
