Diana Slingback Block Heel Pump

At least the ones that I got in the mail. I ordered a size 9 and it was too small but not too surprising bc I sometimes need a 9 1/2 and I’ve never tried this brand. What was surprising was that the 9 1/2 was just as small as the first pair. They were clearly marked as 9 1/2 on the shoe but they were the exact same size as the 9s (i hadn’t gotten around to returning the first pair so I checked- literally the same shoe). Not sure if this was a fluke or what. But I give up and they’re both going back.

I’m usually an 8.5, got the 9 and it’s very snug. Not sure what I expected with patent leather but it’s very stiff and squeaky. Usually have width issues with narrow feet and very small ankles and the straps hardly wrap around on the largest notch. Color is true to photo.
