I took a wide in these and it&nbsp;is the only wide in my shoe wardrobe.&nbsp;&nbsp;It might also be good to try a half size larger if you are wanting them to work quickly and shipping/returns are free. If you aren't used to pointy toes, a bit of length sometimes helps the toes fit in the broader part of the toe box. &nbsp;But then there is the issue of the heel...</p> <p>Hope these work for you. &nbsp;The gold is a very attractive shoe.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-941380 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:33:53 +0000 Jjsloane 941380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the report, I have several colors and sizes and widths in my Amazon cart. Now I must try the gold - they are gorgeous. I have a widish right foot so I'm starting with a c/d width.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-940749 Fri, 24 May 2013 13:38:41 +0000 Sarah A 940749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, sounds like I better steer clear of Prada then too! :)</p> <p>Thanks Angie! Luckily it is sandal watehr a solid half of the year in my climate. And I run hot so I can even extend it some... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-939431 Thu, 23 May 2013 00:34:35 +0000 Angie 939431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great sandal feet, Sarah! We all loose some and win some </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-939426 Thu, 23 May 2013 00:31:55 +0000 rachylou 939426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. Excellent report. Reminds me of my trials with the Prada's. They are pretty, the Bella's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-939372 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:16:30 +0000 Sarah A 939372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eliza, I hope you'll fint your perfect fit as I think these really are a nice looking shoe!</p> <p>Suz, I could tell these would be very comfy, if your foot fits more closely to the last they use. If you are more to the medium width I dont thikn your find them hard to size and the heel box nips in nicely for holding the heel in place on the sides. I do hope you'll try them...</p> <p>Thanks Angie! I know that pointy toes will likely never be a good fit for my foot shape but with the wide offerings thought I might get lucky. The good news... I will never over crowd my closet space for shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-939327 Wed, 22 May 2013 22:12:57 +0000 Angie 939327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry they didn't work out, and thanks for the report, Sarah! Feet will vary for sure. I find these pumps very comfy, and shop with clients in them - lots of fast walking for hours. I also find the leather quite soft, whereas all the designer pumps I tried were made of cardboard box leather and 5 times the price.&nbsp; </p> <p>I guess the Wides are not wide in the right way for your feet - which is harder to get right with a pointy toe style. Onto the next style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-939272 Wed, 22 May 2013 21:09:40 +0000 Suz 939272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks for this full report, Sarah, and thanks for also weighing in, Eliza. I love the look of the shoe! But living in Canada, I just don't think I can risk the endless try-ons. Maybe next time I travel to the states I'll have a few pairs shipped ahead to try.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-939237 Wed, 22 May 2013 20:32:57 +0000 Eliza 939237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also playing the what size am I in this shoe game. Tried my usual 8 medium and it was a bit too tight in the toe box, though the heel was perfect. The 8 wide came today and it fits well without falling off at the heel, which is a miracle for me in a wide shoe (and most mediums also). I am however, perceiving the wide shoe to be a bit shorter than the other size 8's. Also tried the white and bone shoes, which in the mediums seemed to run narrower than the gold ones. Not an exact science. My fussy feet would find the right size of these wearable for an event which did not require hours of standing or lots of walking. The soles are thin (as most shoes in this style would be), with a lightly padded footbed. I will see if the wides allow for a narrow insert for a little bit more cushioning. I long for less particular feet, but have to work with these for now.</p> <p>Need to play with the 8 Ws a bit and see if they work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sizing-report-bella-vita-wow-pumps#post-939217 Wed, 22 May 2013 20:04:44 +0000 Sarah A 939217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As promised a quick report on these shoes for a larger, wide in bone structure (but not very high volume) foot...</p> <p>The initial impression: the gold embossing on the taupey leather (suede?) underneath is super lovely and delicious (DH didnt care for it...&nbsp; said "that just doesnt strike me as a $1,000 shoe... it's not a $1,000 shoe anyway but what does he know?) Each pair was fairly well made but I did find a small glue overage or misstitched few stitches on them. Nothing I would consider a dealbreaker, if the shoe fit though. The leather was super soft but the synthetic lining less so and there were places where the leather was pulling and folding a bit because of my foot shape. I think these shoes would have been a keeper for me if the lining was a soft leather that would conform more easily to my foot. </p> <p>The fit... I think many people would find a size to their satisfaction (there are a great many offered whole and half sized and widths narrow to double wide!) and the heel is very comfortable.&nbsp; I dont think these shoes are for me though, sadly.</p> <p>The 8.5 W seems to look the best fit wise and I can wear it comfortably at 8 AM, but a 2 PM slip on to try it was definitely feeling uncomfortably tight. Like I would wear this if I had to be somewhere tomorrow but would be trying to get these off as soon as I could when I got home (ETA sorry forgot to add pic in order... pic 7 ) Even in this smallest size there is&nbsp; gap above my toes at the shoe's opening but at the same time they feel scrunched. Weird? </p> <p>By 6 PM the 8.5 WW is pushing on the big toe (mine sticks straight forward (see pic, and is tall from the ground at the nail end pic 4)&nbsp; This makes for a problem because the ball of my foot doesnt lay at the ball of the shoe but 2 mm to the inside of it so the big toe pushes into the larger area of the shoe leading to an unsightly bulge in the leather there and a wrinkley gap where the ball of the foot should be seated. Pic 5 (size 8.5WW)</p> <p>Size 9W (and this could just be the particular pair of shoe) isnt tall enough in the toe box and rubs noticeably on the top of the big toenail area.</p> <p>Size 9WW feels great in the toe box, I do not like my toes to be pushed on by the shoe AT ALL and this size delivers but is huge in the heel (even though I can walk without it kicking off believe it or not!) It looks like I've gone to play dress up in my mothers closet when I put it on my non swollen feet the next morning.</p> <p>All said I would recommend this shoe highly if you can find a size that works with your foot shape! Hope this helps!</p> <p>I htink I am declaring a strike out </p>
