Review on Chinese Laundry Women's Teaser Espresso Athletic Shoes for Women by James Mcphearson

They are half a size smaller. I usually wear a 9 but based on the reviews I ordered a 9.5. My second toe is longer than the others and still hung over the edge despite being half a size bigger so I ordered 10 and it was too big. I really need more like 9.75 for the length to fit lol. These shoes are very well made and quite comfortable for their size. However, I have a very narrow foot and while they match the look I'm not comfortable walking on stage with them as they don't hold my foot perfectly. At Dillards I found Giani Bini shoes which are a bit shorter and fit my narrow foot better so I feel much more confident in them. The only thing I love about these teaser shoes is the color. It goes very well with a tanned skin tone that really elongates the legs. I bought and tried on a couple of competition shoes and none of them were as perfect a color as this one. I'm very sad they didn't fit me because I have many friends who own them and love them very much. They are very well done.
