The Story of Red-Goldilocks and the Three Pairs of Shoes
So when I knew I wouldn't be keeping the Too Small Zappos shoes, I called Bloomie's where I'd first seen them, and requested they hold the next size up from the ones I ordered, which when I tried them on were....
Too Big!! So the Sales Associate convinced me to try the next size down (the size that had been too narrow in the toes) and....
they were Just Right!!! So I think the ones from Zappos may have actually been Narrow marked as Medium, or else the sizing is not as uniform as you'd expect from a higher end brand.
They are So. Comfortable. I can't believe I'm wearing heels! They have arch support! They don't rub anywhere! They're a Little Bit Retro! Here they are on, and the heel is a bit higher than it looks due to the angle of the camera. It's a fairy tale ending!!!

Very elegant, now I'm wanting to go out and get me some heels. It bothers me though that the sizing is so inconsistant.
Those look fabulous, especially as set off by that pedicure -- is that a deep burgundy?
cybil - even though I had to try multiple pairs to get the right fit, these shoes are worth the trouble.
materfamilias - thanks, and yes it's a deep brownish red.
I'm at the age that almost nothing is more important than a gorgeous pair of shoes that are sexy too. Seriously, if I have to spend another day in a pair of shoes that kill me
Ah, those shoes look like a dream come true.....
::happy sigh:: Oh, nothing warms my heart like a happy shoe story. Hooray!
Have I missed something? Like, the name and model of these shoes? Please don't keep this secret to yourself!!! Inquiring feet wish to know!!
toby - wrote about them last week here.
These shoes really do go with just about everything in my closet. It's amazing!
Gorgeous! Gunmetal is the neutral of the season! And mom always said that an open toe was more comfortable. A trifecta! Hat trick! Grand slam! Congrats, pseu.
