Couture Bow d'Orsay Pump

I have been coveting these shoes since trying them on in the Valentino store in January 2013. Finally went for it and bought the red. It's a classic, true, Corvette red in patent leather. These shoes make you legs look long and lean and they manage to be elegant and sexy at the same time. I'm sure that I'm going to want them in black too. For a higher heel, these are relatively comfortable because they fit my feet so well. In U.S. sizes I'm a 7.5. In Louboutins, I'm a 38, but in Valentino's I'm true to my size conversion and wear a 37.5. However, my feet are slightly narrow by U.S. standards, which means I'm true to width for European shoes. I tried on the 38 and was able to walk in them without walking out of them, but they weren't a perfect fit like the 37.5; I think for most American women it would be a good idea to size up 1/2 size. If you have wider feet, then these shoes will be tight across the toe box for you and I'm not sure you'll find these comfortable.
