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.

This is a gorgeous shoes on the foot. Unfortunately had to return as it was way too narrow and squeezed my toes horribly. Couldn't justify the higher price with so much pain.

I have been dying over these shoes for year.....finally took the plunge and bought them. I am a size 8 and bought the 38, when they arrived they felt really tight so I took them into the store and tried the next size on and they were just a little too big (at least on my right foot, my left one is a tad bigger). The sales associate advised me to purchase the snug pair, which I did. I have worn them a couple of times and each time they are feeling more and more comfortable. I get tons of compliments plus looking down on that cute bow always makes me smile!!!
