Love the shoe, but if you need to wear stockings I think it maybe next to impossible due to the high straps across the top of foot and the heel of the shoe (zips down to make it a tad easier) to get you foot in and not run your nylons. For that reason alone I may be returning. I bought the shoe in silver and is true to size, and seems to be comfy around the house and it is a beautiful shoe but just not quite wide enough for me to safely get my foot with nylons. (If able to go bare legs, I'd keep them!)
These shoes are gorgeous. They look fabulous on and are very comfortable for shoes with such high heels. The size is a bit larger than normal but not so much that they needed to be returned. You will look fabulous at any party or formal event in these shoes.
I ordered these in black and 1) they were a little big for a 4.5 and 2) they just looked too clunky with all the studs. For the price, I just wasn't happy with the look and they were returned.
