I bought these shoes in navy, after waiting months to find an attractive navy shoe with a heal height greater than 2 inches. BCBG's patent pumps always seem to run a half size smaller than the same shoe in "Italian Kid leather". However, this may be because the European sizing doesn't properly correspond with US sizing (e.g. a "38" is a BCBG 8, but should be a 7.5). That being said, this is a great shoe, fits well, and is a great addition to any wardrobe (especially since navy is so hard to find). I might even buy a second pair!
