Cher Mule (Women)

i bought these in black during the anniversary sale while returning another black flat ordered online which did not work out for me. i was not familiar with this brand and only saw that it was on sale on the sale rack, for a little bit more than the shoe i was returning. the sales woman brought to my attention that it was one of the last of this style in the store as it had been marked down considerably from its original price. the shoe was the perfect length for me as a size 41 which i consider a 9.5 M. the foot strap however was about a half an inch too big across the top of my foot, but i have a great cobbler and he fixed both straps for me in 20 minutes for $40. :) my only gripe is the nordy website shows a size 41 is a size 12 M. so many european shoe brands mark their shoes in this goofy sizing, where a size 39 is actually size 8 on the foot, but it's shown on the seller's website (nordy & anthro i'm looking at you!) and on their boxes as a straight 39 = 9 M sizing when it really isn't. so, please take note, a size 41 in this brand = 9.5 M! once i got the straps adjusted the shoe became even more comfortable to wear. i love the cut and the width in the toe box, this shoe goes with nearly everything in my closet!
