I’m in love. I don’t like high heels. The height is PERFECT. These are the perfect combination of sexy and classy. A little edgy and perfectly hot. I usually wear heels in a size 9. I had to get a 40eu/10 us. Because of the pointed toe they run small. And they are narrow. Perfect as my feet are narrow.

Absolutely beautiful in the poudre color (and all the other colors!)The caged design keeps my feet securely in place and the kitty heel makes them the most comfortable pumps I own!Ordered my normal size and 1/2 size larger. For me, the difference wasn’t much but I chose the 1/2 size larger as it was slightly wider and more comfortable for my baby toes.I usually don’t gravitate towards patent but I love everything about this shoe!

I own two pairs of rockstud heels, these and the taller ones (and these are the ONLY two heels I wear) and I find this height to be the most comfortable heels I have ever owned in my life!! I'm a huge baby when it comes to wearing heels, so I have no idea how I was able to survive getting dressed up before finding these! I love these for commuting on the NYC subways and grabbing brunch/dinners with friends around the city. I ordered a size 34.5 which fit me perfectly (I'm usually a women's size US 4-4.5, European size 34). These heels are obviously not cheap, but I'm so glad I have them because they match everything and can be used for so many different occasions!

So this will be a very detailed review to help other people buying these shoes make an informed decision. First I read all the reviews about ordering a half sizelarger in this shoe. So I did that. When the shoe arrived it fit but was a little snug on my toes. I figured I could live with it because it didn't REALLY hurt. Of course i only walked around my house in them for a total of 5 minutes. I decided to return them because I really wanted the shoe to not hurt at all. So I ordered the next half size up. This shoe is a perfect fit. It is slightly big, but in a good way! It doesn't cramp my toes at all and I am able to walk in total comfort in this shoe. Also, as a side note, the leather and patent leather are both stiff. I first purchased the patent leather and when ... MoreSo this will be a very detailed review to help other people buying these shoes make an informed decision.

I first purchased the patent leather and when I exchanged them I chose the natural leather thinking they would be softer. They are not softer. So hope this helps.
These are the most gorgeous shoes! However, I just purchased my second pair online based on the size of my first pair of rockstuds. I just bought poudre patent in 371/2 and already have the black leather in 37 1/2. I'm a U.S. Size 7 and sized up 1/2 size as recommended. The poudre patent fits 1/2 size too small. When I compared it to the black ones I already have, the poudre patent shows more toe cleavage and the heel hangs closer to the edge. This isn't even the worst news, I started lining up the shoes edge to edge,and the black pair I already own has a size discrepancy of a 1/4 inch within the same pair. I'm mortified that I discovered this defect in my beloved black pair of rockstuds. Now I'm in a dilemma of trying to fix the quality of the rockstud pair I own ... MoreThese are the most gorgeous shoes!

Now I'm in a dilemma of trying to fix the quality of the rockstud pair I own and if these shoes are really worth $1000. My advice is to definitely try on in the store and carefully examine for any defects. It never occurred to me to see if the lengths would be mismatched even thought they are sized the same.
These shoes are AMAZING ! I've never seen a shoe draw so much immediate attention on a foot. (I bought the black patent with blush cage). Forget perfecting hair or makeup. No one will notice anyway. It's crazy, too, how they make any outfit look beyond fabulous: jeans, dresses, skirts, even shorts. Admittedly, I wear them gingerly because of the price tag; however, they're easy to wear and walk in. The shoe was tricky to get the size right. I've always been a predictable size 37 (7) but had to move up a size to 37.5. This positioned the heel to the right spot on my foot and didn't pinch the side of my foot. I've never been in love with a shoe before, but I now understand the cult following.
I have a difficult time finding shoes that work for my feet. I have a bunion on one foot and my other suffers from a slight case of plantar fascitis. So my feet always feel pain after wearing shoes for a long period of time. I was hesitant to buy these heels because of my foot conditions and the fact that these are not cheap! I read countless reviews on these shoes, and saw that other people with foot conditions loved them. So I decided to give them a shot. Thankfully I had Nordstrom Notes and some gift cards to help with the price. I used them to a wedding and I did feel discomfort after a while and by the end of the night my feet were kind of dead lol. I'm not sure if it was because I used some padding in my shoes. I'll give them another shot without the padding. ... MoreI have a difficult time finding shoes that work for my feet.

I personally hate kitten heels. I ordered these for my Paris trip knowing I'll be doing a lot of walking. I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful these pumps are. The heels are super low so this makes a perfect pair of pumps to walk around in while still looking polished. The 3 ankle straps are to die for. Absolutely gorgeous and very comfy. Unfortunately I had to return because it was a tad too small. Order a half size up. I'm usually a size 36 and I have the Valentino rockstud pumps with the higher heels in a size 36, which fit perfectly. I don't know if it's the lower heel, maybe because your feet are sitting more horizontal, but I needed a 36.5 for these pumps.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and own them in red, tan and black. I have worn these shoes for parties and for work events. I always get compliments on them like crazy from the ladies and men check them out constantly. The heel height makes them perfect for walking for long periods. I find them very comfortable. It took me just a couple of hours to break them in on my first night out with them and I can wear them now anytime without any discomfort, they have totally molded to my feet. I have business events and meetings in London often and I find it hard to get a great pair of shoes that look amazing and still let me walk all over the place. These are now my first choice when I fly to that city and have events to attend. The price point is of course high and it really depends on ... MoreLOVE, LOVE, LOVE and own them in red, tan and black. I have worn these shoes for parties and for work events.

Best pair of designer shoes i have ever bought. Iam 5’6 and 190 lbs. these small heels are perfect. I can walk in them without any discomfort. Definitely better than kitten heal from christian loubiton. I will definitely will be purchasing more colors and more variety of shoes. I always wear 9 but i had to completely go up entire size. Even 9 1/2 was not the right fit. 10 is my perfect size. Love these shoes
