ASF- i have those shoes. I love them but they take some breaking in and they run small! I have a 10 in them, i usually take a 9 or 9.5. They don't look brand new any more (i've had them for about a year?) but they still look good. The soles are worn and the silver is peeling off of the points a little. I've also had to replace two rhinestones (one i did a good job, the other one, not really- it isn't as shiny as the others) But I don't regret buying them at all. I get so many compliments on them and they go with more things than you would think. I am wearing them here:

shoot, they run small? i'm a pretty solid 7, and i found these in a 7...i suppose if they don't fit i could put them back on ebay. do the rhinestones fall off easily or did something happen (what would happen, i don't know, but i figured i'd ask anyway)...

and thanks lynnie!

I think they run prob. a half size small because of the point. I do sometimes wear a size 10, so its hard to say if that's when the shoes run small, or if i am actually a size 10 and my size 9 shoes are actually shoes that run big. If you always always wear a size 7, you should probably try to find a size 7.5. But you could always eBay them again like you said. The rhinestones fell off because they were poorly glued. One fell off before I even wore them outside of the house. I think the quality is DEF. a ripoff for $300, but half price, it's a good deal. I bought them because I loved the look and style, and to me that was worth it. I got them half price too.

asf, I have them too. I am a 6 1/2 and mine are a 7 1/2. I would not suggest getting your real size because they won't fit. As far as ruining them I had sole guards put on the bottoms so that they would be protected and they have held up quite well. I also wear the little rubber gels on the balls of the inside for a little added comfort. HTH!!

well that stinks!

thank you both for saving me from wasting $150...i'll just have to keep looking for them in a 7.5-8!

lynnie - I love that outfit!! Who are the tops by?

lynnie · Chanel

Thanks Farrah (my sister's name!!! hehe) The bolero is Rachel Pally, and the top underneath is a tank from Anthro last year. i bought it from www.sunwalters.com , but it is sold out now. She was really nice about it (i had to wait for a return,and she shipped it to me) and I got 30% off with the luckymag code (til the end of april). So now I kind of want this Mon Petit Oiseau top from there:

Late to the party but I have those shoes too (of course right? hehe). I bought them exactly a year ago at the bloomies sale that's taking place now. I ended up exchanging the size 7 for a 7.5 because they do run small even for my narrow feet. I also have those gel inserts in them. They've held up quite well over time, much better than other metallic shoes I have. HTH!

PS - Farrah, BCBG makes a bolero like the RP one but it's knit. I bought it about a month or two ago and I've been wearing it to death. Seriously, it's my favorite coverup. If I get a chance I'll post a pic next time. It's super cool!

I have those flats too, yup agreed to everyone, it runs half size smaller. I need to get size 6.5 but usually I wear size 6.
