Rockstud Strappy Pointed Toe Pump

So this will be a very detailed review to help other people buying these shoes make an informed decision. First I read all the reviews about ordering a half sizelarger in this shoe. So I did that. When the shoe arrived it fit but was a little snug on my toes. I figured I could live with it because it didn't REALLY hurt. Of course i only walked around my house in them for a total of 5 minutes. I decided to return them because I really wanted the shoe to not hurt at all. So I ordered the next half size up. This shoe is a perfect fit. It is slightly big, but in a good way! It doesn't cramp my toes at all and I am able to walk in total comfort in this shoe. Also, as a side note, the leather and patent leather are both stiff. I first purchased the patent leather and when I exchanged them I chose the natural leather thinking they would be softer. They are not softer. So hope this helps.

Absolutely beautiful in the poudre color (and all the other colors!) The caged design keeps my feet securely in place and the kitty heel makes them the most comfortable pumps I own! Ordered my normal size and 1/2 size larger. For me, the difference wasn’t much but I chose the 1/2 size larger as it was slightly wider and more comfortable for my baby toes. I usually don’t gravitate towards patent but I love everything about this shoe!

I own two pairs of rockstud heels, these and the taller ones (and these are the ONLY two heels I wear) and I find this height to be the most comfortable heels I have ever owned in my life!! I'm a huge baby when it comes to wearing heels, so I have no idea how I was able to survive getting dressed up before finding these! I love these for commuting on the NYC subways and grabbing brunch/dinners with friends around the city. I ordered a size 34.5 which fit me perfectly (I'm usually a women's size US 4-4.5, European size 34). These heels are obviously not cheap, but I'm so glad I have them because they match everything and can be used for so many different occasions!

These Valentino nude studded kitten heels are to-die-for! High-quality, beautiful sand-nude patent with blush-nude straps and perfect pointed toe (not witch-like). Elegant yet fierce, and just as you've seen them on the runways at F/W 2010 Paris Fashion Week and all the fashion editors. The straps fit somewhat loose but the ankle wrap obviously prevents the shoe from falling off. The shoe is between true-to-size and a little small due to the pointy toe. The forefront of my feet are wide, so I sized up from my true size 7 (CL 37) to 7.5 in this shoe in order to get the most comfortable fit with shoe inserts. These shoes are super comfortable for all-day (or all-night!) wear, and despite the 2.5-inch heel, still elongate the leg with the all-nude color - important for those of us who are petite (I'm 5'4"). Overall, this is a unique shoe that combines style, elegance, ferocity, and comfort all into one!

Love the shoe but both pairs were damaged in the exact same spot. Manufacture problem. For the price let me damage my own shoes.

These shoes are too good to be true. I used to have all the fabulous heels and designer shoes. Then I needed foot surgery. I was in despair because all my favorite shoes hurt and I thought my life in shoe heaven was over. After two years in flats I took a chance on these shoes. I figured I would need to return them but bought them on an impulse. The package arrived. I held my breath. Out of the box these are stunning. Would my dreams be answered? I closed my eyes and tried them on. I thought I was dreaming. No pain. Now would I be able to walk in them? For an evening? YES!!!! Worth every penny. Take the leap. You will be singing praises like I am.

This is my third pair of Valentino rockstud.... This height is the most comfy of all.... I can last 12 hours at work without any pain:) I have three kids too and I could tolerate wearing it while chasing them:) easy to pair with anything.... Very versatile ... Staple buy:)

I have been wanting a pair of Valentino Rockstud for the longest time. I finally purchased my first pair a few weeks ago. It's a matte peacock blue color and it's gorgeous! On top of the triple sexy t-straps and gold rockstuds, this shoe has every element that I love. I can't wait to wear it for the first time when I go to Vegas. I also want to give a shout out to my favorite salon shoe salesperson at the downtown Portland store for tracking this special pair for me. I can't wait to purchase the next pair in 100 mm.

I've been lusting over these for awhile and they were beyond worth the wait. A wonderful salesperson in Paris recommended the lower heel version for more comfort and wearing opportunities which helps justify the price tag. I waited to buy from Nordstrom - you cannot beat the customer service and support. I recommend 1/2 size bigger than your usual size. These are the most comfortable and beautiful shoe I've ever owned. They were a huge hit their first evening out - walking, standing & dancing. The Perfect Shoe. More please:)))

Where do I begin... let me start off by first saying that I shattered my ankle 10 years ago in a bad car accident, so finding a classy and sexy heel that is actually comfortable is hard to find. This edgy, yet sleek Valentino pump epitomizes what every woman seeks: a sexy shoe accompanied by a sexy strut. I feathered my way through the alleys of gaudi-enriched Barcelona; through the cobblestones of imperial rome, and through the sun-flowered- kissed streets of Amsterdam while wearing these Valentino's. If I hadn't proudly looked down at my feet every 20 minutes to remind myself that I'm wearing such class, I would have thought I was wearing sneakers. Venturing in Valentino's.

I bought these in ivory patent for my upcoming wedding nuptials. I want something I can wear at the wedding ceremony and change to a different dress for the reception, and still wear these. I did not have the luxury to try them on, but being asian and having small feet, I went for my size which is 4 (even though they said size up), and to my surprise, it fit me so perfect!. I was also basing it on the other rockstud pairs I already have. My first pair was a size 5 and it was a mistake, too big.These shoes are to die for! I'm not planning to buy the light patent blue one (if they haves size). It's easier for me to shop online for these bc they rarely have a size 4, anywhere! But these are pairs of shoes I don't mind investing...well these Hermes bags, and Chanel boy bags, lol.

These are the most gorgeous shoes! However, I just purchased my second pair online based on the size of my first pair of rockstuds. I just bought poudre patent in 371/2 and already have the black leather in 37 1/2. I'm a U.S. Size 7 and sized up 1/2 size as recommended. The poudre patent fits 1/2 size too small. When I compared it to the black ones I already have, the poudre patent shows more toe cleavage and the heel hangs closer to the edge. This isn't even the worst news, I started lining up the shoes edge to edge,and the black pair I already own has a size discrepancy of a 1/4 inch within the same pair. I'm mortified that I discovered this defect in my beloved black pair of rockstuds. Now I'm in a dilemma of trying to fix the quality of the rockstud pair I own and if these shoes are really worth $1000. My advice is to definitely try on in the store and carefully examine for any defects. It never occurred to me to see if the lengths would be mismatched even thought they are sized the same.
