Is it worth the gamble?

You could always eBay them if they don't work

How much do you love them?

My gut feeling is shoe you've never tried on before + no refund = potential regret. Unless, as annagybe said, you are comfortable and don't mind the hassle of ebay-ing them. Even then there's some risk. I'm being the mare today :-]

Still a pretty expensive gamble, and since it's a very distinctive shoe, I'm not confident about the reselling market. I would also ask how much you love them... they do seem a bit sweet IMO, but maybe that is a direction you want to explore for spring.

I do love these shoes, but wouldn't buy shoes I hadn't tried on.......

I'd rather go for a higher price and be able to return.....(don't be seduced by a lower price)

It's too late now, but I'm going to try and see if Shopbop will price match. Though I'm not hopeful, they're price matching is very difficult from my experience.

Not sure anna, I love them but aren't you on a high heel moratorium due to your foot issues? The final sale is making me nervous. You can always off them on ebay, but are you going to have the patience for that?

The sizing is so tricky with shoes....I don't think I would gamble, unless you are happy to ebay.

Are there any reviews for these shoes online that might help you with the sizing?

Keep in mind that Ebay items can have a slow turnaround. They might sit around for a long time before selling, or you might have to lower your price before they sell, or they might not sell at all. It is not guaranteed money back.
