Agree with other reviewer- there is a strange angle to this shoe, making it hard to get the shoe on.  I bought the taupe patent, which looks like a normal nude tone. I would say it runs about on size (maybe a little big), but the toe box put terrible pressure on my big toe from the top, so by the end of my workday I was in so much pain that I couldn't even walk. I have never had shoes do this before, so I'm going to say it was the shoe, not my feet.
