I saw these shoes at Macy's yesterday for $36. They only had the red. IMO, the red is a bright, clown red. It's not a bad red, it's just a true red with no subtlety. I almost considered getting them, but I reminded myself that I was on the hunt for a black patent, pointy toe skimmer. I am *so* glad Macy's did not have the black because I got them thru Amazon for $22.

I believe the shoe fits true to size. I am a 7.5M, period. In pointy shoes, I sometimes go for an 8 or avoid pointys altogether. I was going to listen to the reviews here and order an 8, but I tried on the 8 at Macy's and it was too big. I think it was a bit stretched it given that it was the floor model, but I figured even a brand new size 8 would be too big.

I ordered & recvd a 7.5M. When I recvd the shoes today and put them on they were snug. Not snug in a tight or uncomfortable way. They just fit exactly to my foot. This is a leather upper and not man made. So the patent looks black and shiny! It's not cheap looking at all. The point comes to a nice triangle and isn't exagerrated. Given that they are leather, I expect them to stretch a little to my feet.

The shoes measures 10.5" from the point to the middle of the heel. The point to the top of the shoe is 3" and there is 1" between my big toe and the point. There is comfortable room to move the toes and because the shoe is leather, it will form a bit to the feet as you wear them. I have experienced that already just walking around the house. The shoe looks low cut on the sides, but my foot stays completely in the shoe when I am walking. I'll be watching to see if I end up with a line/bend across the front of the shoe. By the time that happens -- if it ever does -- I will certainly have gotten my $22 out of them.

And finally, I am 5'2" and I tend to avoid pointy toe shoes because it sometimes looks like I am wearing skis. These shoes are great because they elongate my leg and don't create a costume-y look. They look great peeking out of the jeans I have on and I expect them to look good w/the new capri leggings I got the other day.

Highly recommended!

I followed the advice of those who said this shoe runs small. It's not true and I had to give away the lst pair. Just got the 2nd pair in my normal size 7m and it's fine, even a little big on one foot. So, if you have a normal foot--just buy the size you normally wear because this shoe runs normal. And it is very cute.

I love these shoes and have purposely built my attire for the day around wearing them when I have a long day in store! SO comfortable and shows just the right amount of "toe cleavage"! Have had mine since December and they are holding up beautifully after wearing them quite a bit!

I absolutely reccommend these. They are comfortable, well constructed, and the cut is sexy...pointed toe, but with a wide enough toe box and soft enough leather to reshape a good amount to your foot. The side cut is perfect, its dressy yet can be worn with shorts or jeans also. I highly reccommend these flats! - Abigail

This is a basic black flat. It's comfortable enough, I guess. Nothing that special about the shoe - if you are looking for something that is durable and will last you, then you should look right past this shoe. It scuffs easily, and will not last very long. Perfect for a basic, everyday flat (like when you wear heels to work, but put a pair of "just in case" flats in your tote bag when your feet are getting sore from your heels), very versatile - can be worn with just about anything - jeans, dresses, skirts, rompers, whatever you can think of. I wished it would have been a little less on the money side - paid about $40 for them, and they really are only worth about that. The only thing that makes them worth the money is that they are leather, and, honestly, with how easily they wear and tear, I wish I would have opted for a man-made material instead. I have probably worn mine about 7 or 8 times, and it looks like they are about to take their last step! So, like I said before, these are great for the back-up shoes of everyday life - not so good for longevity.

They are as basic as can be with no heel and very thin leather. There's no substance or structure to the leather and I think overpriced for the quality.

I have relatively wide feet and these shoes run narrow...so for the ladies whose feet aren't petite...stay away!...aside from that though the shoes are comfy and its made of quality leather...yet another shoe that makes me envy the girls with small feet...

These are great shoes. They are comfortable, cute and stylish. The Hepburn style is more difficult to find than I thought they would be. Amazons price was great. I love them.

I bought black and brown for work. I am on my feet all day so they great, I love to wear them with skinny Jeans when going out,They fit well and run true to size.

I have these in the patent leather & regular leather. They are both a great shoe! I bought the black leather ones almost a year ago, they are still going strong and they are super comfortable! I got the bronze color in the patent leather & it's a good shoe too, the leather doesn't break in as fast but it is still very comfortable now that it's broken in. I also bought MIA canvas skimmers with skulls on them, they aren't so great. It seems like the leather shoe is made much narrower, while the canvas is very wide. I ordered my own size, then a 1/2 size smaller. I returned them twice & still don't have a pair that I can wear, my foot is just too skinny!

Overall I recommend these shoes, they look great with a dress for work or play, jeans, slacks & just about anything else you can think of to wear flats with!
