Good value; reasonably comfortable; color not for me

I like the styling of the shoe. I tend to be a 7 and occasionally a 7.5; the 7 fit fine with no breaking in, and I can tell it would be fine to walk around in and stand in (I'm a professor and I always teach in heels). I'm going to be returning this shoe, however, because I'm still looking for that perfect nude shoe and this is just a hair dark. The color on the website is accurate; I was just hoping it would be a little lighter. It has that kind of 70s tan look that just isn't quite what I wanted. I like the shoe enough that I may exchange for another color, though. The quest for the perfect nude shoe continues...

I got these shoes in the tan color. The heel height is fine for me and it does show a little toe cleavage which is also fine. The only prob i have with the shoe is it is a bit short so my toes hit the front of the shoe. I normally where a 8 in all my heels so i got an 8, but i wondering if the 8.5 would work or if if would flop off in the back. So I am just going to keep them and just wear them around the house to soften them and break them in. I will get them in black too, they are very classy.
Gorgeous shoe if you don't have to stand long!

These are fantastically gorgeous shoes! They fit a bit on the small side, and they are hard on the ball of your foot if you are standing for any great length of time.

They are very nice shoes, they look good with everything...I bought them a half a size larger because i read the reviews and they were right! so they fit perfectly!

As soon as I open the box, I fell in love with the shoe. Sadly, when I ordered the shoe, I selected the only size that was available which was a full size bigger than what I wear. I figured I could insert insoles but it didn't work. I recommend the shoe

I went by the other reviews to go up a 1/2 size, and they fit perfect.

love Charles David shoes - they are so pretty, good quality and relatively comfortable for the heel height.

I had really high hopes but even though the shoe fit, the arch was not comfortable. I knew it would give me problems so I had to return it. (By the way, I wear high heels almost every day, so i'm not a wimp)

The reviewers are incorrect when they say the shoe runs large. It's the exact opposite; it runs at least a half size too small. I took advantage of the free overnight shipping to wear them this weekend to a special event and instead I'll be sending them back. Wish the reviewers had listed accurate information.
Very nice shoe but not for my feet

It's a nice looking shoe that I like, however, I took the recommendation of your experts and bought a half size smaller than I normally wear. I took their advise because from experience it is true that in some indtances this brand name runs a half size too big. This time I felt the shoe was a little too tight. In addition I have a high arch and I defintely did not have the arch support I would have liked and this is the reason I did not reorder the shoe in the size I normally wear.

This shoe is a beauty. When I first put them on they felt a bit tight but I think thats because of the leather, as the day went on they stretched a bit. I have to say I experienced some discomfort the first time I wore them but maybe its because I lotioned my foot right before I put them on and I'm not use to 4 inch heels.
I do love the shoes though classic pump can't go wrong.

I'm a solid 6.5 in most heels, and I can say that these are true to size. I can understand some people complaining about it running a bit small, perhaps it's due to a wider foot, and longer toes? On me you can just barely see some toe cleavage, which adds detail to this shoe. The black snakeskin doesn't look too fake, more subtle I think. This is a 4 inch heel contrary to some websites saying it's 3.5 (trust me I measured it from the bottom of the back heel). The only thing I wish about this sure is that the heel was also made of snakeskin which it is not (it's more of a patent plastic). Very nice shoe nonetheless!!!

It is a beautiful shoe, however it felt a half a size too small. It was pinching me toes. Had to return it.
I like it but the heel is a bit too high

I wanted to get these shoes as my "go-with-everything" pair of pumps and although they are exquisite, they are simply too high to be comfortable for long-term use. Maybe you can do it, but they would hurt my feet quickly.

This shoe is just plain fabulous, a must have as a wardrobe staple. I got this shoe in nude and it can pretty much work with almost any color outfit...Although the width seems to be true to size my feet are a tiny bit wide so I put a shoe stretcher in them for about a day and they fit just right after that...

This is one of the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen. The color is gorgeous (yellow) and the shape is classic and flattering. Unlike other reviewers, I found this shoe to run about a half size small. I usually wear an 8.5, but definitely need a 9.

Ladies, classic but sexy black pumps like these are a must-have staple! I was really worried that they would be too narrow for my chubby feet but since they were about a half-size bigger, it works out perfectly for my wide feet and the fit is surprisingly tolerable for a pair of stiletto pumps. I love the rounded but not-too-rounded toe, they're just really darling on. I love, love, love them, so happy I got them, and at such a gorgeous steal of a price, too. Yay.
More wear and tear in the future for these babies.

By no means are these shoes extra-ordinary but they are beautifully crafted and fit the classic pair of black, round-toe pumps. I was scared that they would run too small (I wear a size 8, wide) but they fit like a dream. And for the price, they were perfect. I wish the blue suede was still available. If I could, I would get them in every color and print. For pumps that look ordinary, they compliment any wardrbobe. Snag a pair while you can!

I loved these. Felt great and looked great. I got them in the nude / camel color, but what makes them really special is the gold underside of the shoe which makes it really glamorous. I will probably getting more in the other colors.

The shoes look great on, but they were 1/2 size too small. I thought this was a little strange because I normally wear 5.5 in Charles David and Charles by Charles David.
The shoes are a little high, so they're not the most comfortable. Also, if you have wide feet, I would not recommend these shoes. I have narrow feet, but they seemed a little on the narrow side for me.
Very pretty black pump but...

This is a gorgeous pump and I purchased it in black. However, considering they are a black pump that I would wear on a daily/weekly basis the heel is very high. If I could have gotten them in the blue I would have kept them.

This shoe is a beautiful shoe that looks even better on than in picture. I have narrow feet and my feet tend to not do so well with rounded pumps. However, these fit amazing and also did not hurt at all. I recommend them for jeans or the office. Awesome shoe!

Great, sexy toe cleavage! I own 2 pairs in blue and brown suede. The blue suede is magnificent. I also bought a blue pair for my sister. She loves them! Sexy sexy pumps!
