Beautiful shoes-just size up the width!

Gorgeous Shoe--One Trick in Sizing for Yourself. No more beautiful dress shoe! The Nina line features some of the most flattering and beautiful shoes ever. The fabric is elegant and beautiful and colors simply superb. Here is the trick with the Nina brand--and SO MANY of their shoes are stunning that you don't want to listen to reviewers who state they are too stiff or too tight. The length is true; just get a W if you are a Medium. I am a true 9.5 M, but that WAS too tight so I ordered a 9.5 W and it fits beautifully. Don't deny yourself their shoes, just go one width wider! I have these Contessa and champagne--stunning and also the Navy blue fabric in their closed toe pump. Could be prettier.

Mother of the groom shoes

These are beautiful but the absolutely most uncomfortable shoes ever! Could not wear them out if the church after the wedding. Was barefoot the rest of the evening. I’m now wearing bandaids on my feet. Rather than give away, I’m throwing away to avoid causing issues for someone else. I love you Nordstrom and have been a loyal customer for 30 years. These shoes were the worst!

Beautiful style; sizing may be tricky

Very pretty shoe with a beautiful style. I bought it in the "champagne" color, and it's lovely. I've knocked off one star for the following reason: I originally ordered a 8 1/2 wide because that's my true size. Because there is very little stretch to the material that goes across your foot at the base of your toes, however, it was too tight (despite its wide width). I returned the 8 1/2 wide and exchanged it for a 9 wide, and now it fits better and I'll keep that pair.

Not really wide width

So I ordered both regular width and wide width b/c sometimes my fat feet fit into this open toe style without the extra room needed. I was very disappointed when the wide width did not fit but even more so when I tried on the regular to find not much of a difference. Hopefully the lack of extra room is represented in the pictures. The picture of my feet, one shoe is wide the other is not. Can you tell which is which? The wide is on the left.

Attractive occasion shoe

This is a very comfortable, attractive shoe. It goes well with the dress I purchased to attend an upcoming wedding. I typically do not have a problem with width, but I followed other recommendation and bought this shoe in the wide width. I’m so glad I did. It fits quite comfortably and would have been tight if I purchased the medium width. The satin fabric over the shoe is not too shiny and could be dyed later if desired. I can no longer wear today’s high heels. This is a nice heel height if you still have a little heel to dress for the occasion.

wanted them to work.

I love the look of this shoe and was shopping for a special occasion (wedding). However, it seemed a bit tight at the heel and stressed the ball of the foot and I knew that I should not choose them based only on appearance. I had several other shoes to compare with in my shopping spree and found a more comfortable style. They are beautiful however!
