Vivian Ballet Flat (Women)

When I first tried this on, I thought I hit the jackpot. But luckily I got sent two pairs of these in different sizes and i realized the sides will flare out in an extremely unflattering way over time. I ordered two sizes and Nordstrom sent me both a brand new pair and one that was still new but seemed like it was on display at a store. The ones from the store flared out SO badly and it looked really misshappen all around the foot. There are gaps all around the top of the flat. I then tried on my new pair and saw that it already started doing that - this type of flare out will not mold to my feet over time. The photo here is of the new pair. Sad because the leather is soft.

I loved everything about this shoe. The packaging was very thoughtful and it came with a dust bag, which I really appreciate. The red current color is breathtaking. I saw that these ran large, so ordered a 10 (I am usually a 10.5), but I could have easily fit into a 9 in these shoes. If you have a wider foot, maybe go down a half size. But if you can find the right size for you, I think you’ll be extremely happy with these versatile flats.

These shoes are very stylish and sleek. However, I ordered a size 10M and receive an 11M. Which I am blaming NR for their lack of attention to detail. The sticker was stated they were a size 10M, but they were an 11M. To NR: PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS! That's why I'm giving this purchase three stars 🌟

The shoe was as pictured, a nice rust red color. I just want to say all these reviews claiming the sizing is off, maybe these ladies don't know their shoe size. I am a true 7.5 and sometimes size up to 8. Based on reviews I ordered size 7 and it is snug. At least I could get my foot in and I think the leather will stretch enough that they will become comfortable but I wouldn't have had to do this if I'd gone with the correct size. I will say they are roomy at the heel width wise. Just try your normal size if you know what it really is.
