Beautiful shoe! I purchased a size 7 (as I'm in between a 7 and 7.5). I def should have gotten the 7.5 because my heal hangs over the back a little, however, a bigger size would mean the straps would fit looser and that wouldn't work on my foot as the straps are already loose. I wear heals a lot so these are not a problem for me, especially because of the platform, makes them easier to keep on all day. The skinnier heel could make it harder to walk in for those not used to wearing heels. I give this shoe 4 stars only because of the straps being a bit loose.
