Kathryn Kerrigan Linda d'Orsay: The sizing is off and errs toward 1 to 1.5 to 2 times larger than the normal shoe size-- designed for plus-size frames and wide feet. The Violeta style is about 2 times larger than my normal size 6. The Monrovia was a 1.5 times larger than my normal size. The Violeta and Monrovia styles are slightly different. The Violeta is a lilac suede throughout. The Monrovia, on the other hand is a light pink shade with a metallic rose gold fine pebble covered-wedge heel design. Both are very pretty and comfortable to wear if they fit right and snug on one's foot. The height is just right and doesn't hurt the arches to walk and the sole has a non-skid type surface. Highly recommended if it fits you!
