Ansie Mary Jane Pump (Women)

I LOVE these shoes. I normally wear a 9w. I first ordered them in a 39 and could not get my foot into them. I reordered them in a 40. I can get my feet into them, but the heel is a sloppy fit (just barely too big, so that it slides up and down when I walk). Also, I found that I had to be a contortionist to get them buckled, which took a long time and some swearing, and then when they were almost buckled, there weren't enough holes to tighten them up properly. Also, the shoe is too stiff for me. I think if you are a thin young girl with thin feet, you might like these. Sadly, they have to go back.

I had half an inch, or 3cm of extra space I the shoe even though I am always a 37. And I had to wear a 38 in the Marja boot from Vagabond last year to not suffocate my feet. The ankle strap was too loose too. I think this brand makes sturdy boots for sure, but when it comes to more lightweight shoes for warmer weather, you are better off buying other brands that are actually more fit to a natural foot shape.

I took the advice; I'm a 7.5 in heels and ordered an 8, and was sliding all around in them. Not sure whether I will bother with the 7 or not. They are really cute and I love the boxy toe and acceptable heel height. One improvement I would make is to have the strap be thicker. It looks unbalanced to have such a skinny strap on a clunky shoe.
