I'm not sure what's up with Nine West shoes, but their sizing is so inconsistent. These shoes are so beautiful and they're not uncomfortable because of the heel height since the platform is pretty high, but I can't wear them very long at all because they are TIGHT. My toes are painfully scrunched up in one, but the other fits reasonably well so if I went half a size they'd probably be too big. I guess I'll keep them and see if I can have a cobbler stretch them a bit so I can wear them without wanting to die. Really wish Nine West would figure out their sizing though, since it's impossible to tell whether they'll be too big or too small, but the quality and style for the price are hard to beat.
