User Reviews
Looks great, and fits well. I am a size 6, and I have bought from the same brand before, their designs are gorgeously feminine, and the bronze gold makes it look very elegant. However, the first shoes I bought didn't fit to size, it was very tight. When I ordered this pair, I wanted to get a half a size bigger to make sure it fits, but I read in the reviews that some customer read about this problem and still ordered one to her actual size because the review she read was old, and the shoes fit perfectly, so I went back and order my actual size 6 and it did fit perfectly, so I guess they did fix their size issue, and the shoes is gorgeous.
This beautiful shoe give you the height without the pain. Carson's and Macy ran out of this color and my size. I had to go up a half size because shoe runs sort of small, but now they fit perfect. Silver looks so elegant and replaces the color white or nude. Please trust this and the other reviews, GO UP A HALF SIZE BEFORE YOU BUY!!! You will not regret it.
Per a few other reviewers, I decided to order the size I normally wear with Nikes and most other shoes (size 8). I just received them and tried them on, and they fit perfectly. If you're paranoid about fit, check the "Sizing info" next to the box where you select your size, and compare to your foot's measurement. You can't go wrong with that, since they give the inches in length of the shoe.I was hesitant to order these since I wanted navy sparkly shoes, but the photo seems more royal blue. They are indeed navy, and they look AMAZING. I ordered these for my wedding, and I can't wait to wear them. My only concern is that the little flecks of glitter will wear off on the inner toe, since I tend to accidentally rub my shoes together there while wearing them, but hopefully that will take some time before that happens. Anyway, you can't beat the price of under $40, including shipping!
I really loved the look of these shoes. It's almost as if they have padded inserts, nice and soft. I always wear a size 7. I ordered these in a 7.5 because they were pumps instead of sandals or boots, as sometimes pumps are a little small in the toes. However, I could hardly cram my feet into these. The toe bed is very small. And, I don't have wide feet. With a bit of coaxing, I got both shoes on, but then couldn't walk in them....painful. I think an 8 would be too long and then the heel would slip. Unfortunately, I have to return these shoes. Too bad.....I really liked the look
I buy BCBG all the time. This shoe is true to size. I unfortunately listened to the reviews and purchased 1/2 size up... too big. Now I have to be annoyed with returning them. Personally, if your new to a particular brand of shoes just go to DSW or Macy's and try them on. I ordered a different color in my correct size and needless to say, PERFECT fit like all of my other BCBG shoes. I'm giving 5 stars because the shoe is comfortable, looks fantastic and is true to size.
BCBG never disappoints! I got them in Brass to go with a flowy chiffon top that's a cross between a pink and an orange (not coral - terra cotta?), and this color is PERFECT! BCBG shoes are consistent with their sizing and true to size - very similar to the sizing of Nine West. These shoes are also very comfortable despite their height because of the platform. Can't say I'd wanna walk in them all day, but my feet don't hurt at the end of an evening out either.
After reading some reviews, I gambled on having fairly narrow feet and purchased my normal 7.5. I could barely squeeze into the toe box and it was a pretty uncomfortable extraction to remove myself. I own several other BCBGs in a 7.5 that all fit fine. I think this is simply a poor design. But the leather looked nice and otherwise, they are pretty shoes.
This shoe was Extremely small I'm a regular size eight however, this shoes felt a half size smaller. I bought this for a formal engagement and had my husband pull this shoes and stretched it until my feet could comfortably fit in these shoe...I simply could not return the shoe because it was delivered the day before the event so I was desperate and had to make it work. My feet were able to fit into the shoes but just for me to walk from my vehicle straight to my sit at the event..I sat all thought-out the event and couldn't budge...I was looking fly but couldn't walk around. The shoes are gorgeous but the front tips of the shoes seems to losing a lot of its glitter and revealing the material beneath not cute at all.Theses shoes are a comfortable high but the fit is terrible I would recommend ordering a 1/2 size bigger if you're planning to actually walking around in these...what I observed is that the left side of the shoes is manufactured much smaller that the right side and this wasn't an issue with my feet ...would purchase this again but only if it were on sale too expensive for a poor fit. THE Packaging: the box the shoes came in was old and damaged it looked like the shoe was in the warehouse for years it did not appear to be a newer shoe..it appears that these shoes were sitting on a shelf for years or even months.. I'll have to give these shoes away because I will not be able to squeeze my feet into them again...a waste of my money.
