Pigalle Follies Pointed Toe Pump

First, I am a size 6.5 regular width in all shoes and in these I wear a size 7. With that being said, how you like your shoe to fit is very personal. Going into purchasing these shoes understand that they are patent, and so they will squeeze and hurt the first few days! But they will then stretch and be true to size. Double a sock over JUST your toes and wear them like this while your at home watching netflix to speed up the process. Also cutting your toenails before breaking them in helps! Make sure you put lotion on your toes to help keep the blisters at bay as well. I go half a size up, and after wearing for a few months I do have to put a little shoe flower in the inside just to make sure my heel won't slip out. But this is how I like my heels. Second, i love these so much. I can walk better in these than other 4 inch stilettos I own. But I am an avid heel wearer! I wear heels 5 days a week, always 3.5 to 4 inches high. If you are new to the heel game you won't be wanting to wear these very often. Very thin heel, very small toe box. If you are new to heels and wanting to indulge but not kill your feet, I'd go with the thicker heeled round toe pump CL makes. Third, these will wear like any leather soled shoe; pretty easily. Again, it isn't a rubber sole so it's not as hardy. I get mine resoled after I've had them for 6 months. This doesnt mean the quality is poor, that's just how it is. If you are wearing these on slippery surfaces I would invest in the thin grippy stick ons that you can cut to size. Life savers for sure! Hope this helps your purchase!
