SIZING INFO:

After trying these on about 50 women (they danced in them, too), overwhelmingly they reported that these shoes run about 1/2 size small. If you normally wear a 6 you'll most likely wear a 6.5 - if you normally wear an 8.5, most likely you'll like the fit of the 9, etc. (if you fit well into two different sizes, you'll probably be more comfortable in the larger of the two - i.e. if you wear a 7 to a 7.5 you'll likely wear a 7.5)

WIDTH INFO:

Women with wide feet reported that these were too tight, while women with regular and slightly narrow feet said the width was just right.

The heel is approximately 2 1/8" and the base of the heel is 1 1/2" wide to keep you stable.

*This is a basic nude dance shoe - the Light Camel color is a very slightly warm, pale taupe / putty / sand / beigish color.
