Badgley Mischka Women's Gillian Dress Sandals - Elegant Heeled Open-Toe Wedding Shoes for Brides, Prom & Special Occasions

I bought these shoes for my wedding next year in blush. I first purchased them on sale during black friday. They come in a nice Badgley Mischka box with a cloth drawstring bag and two little baggies: one with 2 replacement rubber heel tips, and one with replacement jewels.Size: I am normally a 7 1/2 - 8 and it just depends on the brand of footwear. I thought that it might be safer to go with the larger size. However they were too big. (For reference, I measured the length of my foot to be 9 1/2 inches, which is the exact measurement listed for size 7 1/2. I just thought that it might be too exact and therefore too tight if I got the 7 1/2, however you should follow the sizing chart here.) I returned the size 8 and bought (not on sale) the size 7 1/2. They fit perfectly now!Comfort:The kitten heel is great as I don't walk in heels usually. I haven't walked very much in these yet (just a few steps) so I can't say for sure how comfortable they will be all day. The strap on the top feels okay. Hopefully they won't dig into my ankles or break when I wear these.Color: The blush color is a shade darker than the picture as other reviewers mentioned. It's more pink than blush. My dress has a blush sort of shade to it, but even with the darker color, it still works with it.Quality: Quality overall seems good. There is one or two gems that have this weird worn out frosted look to them, but I am not too bothered by this. There are replacement gems though if I want to fix this, but I'd rather not go through the trouble. Some damage on the area for the strap but I personally feel it's an unavoidable sort of damage as it is the area where you fasten it. The bottom of the shoe (the side that touches the ground) seems to be suede? I am worried on how I would clean these once I wear them outside. Even walking a few steps indoors, small little things would get embedded in the bottom of the shoe.Photos: The photos with me wearing them on the carpet are the too large size 8 ones and the ones on the tile and wood are the correctly sized 71/2. The three pictures in the middle are the shoes against my dress.Overall: Great purchase overall, despite not getting them on sale in the end. I had been watching these shoes for awhile, and I feel they are perfect for me. :)If I can I will update next year after my wedding in December.
