Couldn't Win With Debbilee! I normally buy shoes a little big because my feet highly prefer less friction. Don't abide by their preference and pay dearly. I bought the normal half-size up but these shoes flipped and flopped off my foot so I went down a half-size. Oh, before I go any further, I obviously "did not completely read the fine print" - I ordered the shoes because I was hot to trot for a pair of black and white patent heels. The white bottom in the Logohoo picture just spoke to me. Opened the red Guess box and uncovered black patent trimmed in silver! But, I fell in love with them. Just couldn't get them to stay close to me...the half-size smaller not so bad length-wise but snug in the little toe area, although not clearly painful. I am not known for breaking in any shoes and fright set in. I decided maybe I would be better off with the larger size. At this point, I had to have them. Tried the larger size one more time, before in mass dejection, I had to acknowledge defeat. ALMOST! The Debilee clearly would not play fair but Guess has the Danella, a style that covers the heels and has ankle straps that can hold onto the feet better. The jury is yet out - I can still insert fingers between my heel and the back of the Danella. The shoes, otherwise, are stellar. They have that modern, high-tech aura going on. Something different for me but certainly a pleasant eye-catcher. The Debilee shoes should have an adjustable heel strap or some other mechanism to allow them to grab the feet more efficaciously. Or, perhaps they should have been built a little less long and a tad wider. Others may establish long-time relationships with Debilee but I felt the patent leather might never give and wearing the shoes for a longer period of time might do damage I could live without. The Danella choice- albeit not a perfect solution - allows much more accommodation. I did see that Laundry and one of the other houses has similar platforms.
