I purchased these in a size 10. They fit well & feel quite comfortable.
The ankle strap is removable, which I like. I am probably going to remove it, just for convenience, but we will see ;) I haven't worn them out of the house yet, because it's been raining & yucky, and they are fabric on the outside. They have a 4 1/2" heel & 1" platform. I totally love that Torrid shoes are wide width, because I can buy my usual size & they will actually fit like a dream! No weird rubbing & not a lot of toe aches (other than from walking way too long in shoes without much cushion, typical for a lot of heels!)

These shoes are too cute! I bought them in a size 10 & they fit really well. They are very comfortable.
They have a 5" heel & 1" platform, but they are super easy to walk in due to the wedge. No teetering around in these. They do make my big toe hurt a bit after a LOT of walking, but I think that's more to the fact that the tip of my toe nail bangs against the front of the short & gets a little ouchy. The tip of my big toe seems to point up slightly, so if I don't keep the nails short they rub on my shoes. I was one of those kids who always had a hole in their sock & I always wore a hole right through my shoes, right above my big toe. LOL

I've only worn them with jeans, so far, but will be wearing them with skirts & wild colored tights.

Ohhh how I adore these heels!! I made the sad mistake of buying them in a size 11 & they are monstrously huge. First time I wore them out, my heel kept popping out on every step I took. I almost lost my shoes. LOL I purchased full inserts & heel grips & now they fit great. I wish I could have returned them for a 10, but since I already wore them outside, that wasn't happening.

These have a 4 1/2" heel & a 1" platform. They really are very comfortable (obviously you don't want to be walking for hours in heels, but for some quick trips out & about, they are fabulous.)

They do kill my feet after several hours of walking in them, but that's true of all heels. And it seems my Johnny like to drag me all over the world when I'm dressed up & my poor tootsies ache so bad he's practically got to carry me from the truck to the house. LOL But, I digress....

These look killer with dark jeans or a skirt. Love them! Super sexy =)

I purchased these in a size 11, again, thinking I was needing to size up to accommodate for the fact that they are heels. Big mistake. They are HUGE. I needed to add a full insert & a heel grip to keep my feet from sliding around & my heels from popping out. I already wore them out of the house, otherwise I would have returned them for a 10. They are wide width, and quite comfortable. 4 1/2" heel & a 1" platform. Super easy to walk in (when they aren't falling off mid-step. LOL) And they are really cute. Normally I hate lame flowery things, but these are too cute. They look fabulous with jeans & with skirts.

I purchased these shoes in a size 11. WAY TOO BIG!!! :D

Usually I wear a 10, but in heels I generally must go up 1/2 to 1 full size, because they are always too tight & pinchy & totally kill my feet. However, Torrid shoes (I now know) are very roomy & comfortable (they are all wide width.)

These shoes have a 5" heel & a 1" platform. I think they would be easy to walk in, had I purchased the correct size, AND had the bottoms not been slick & slippery as ice. These were seriously impossible to walk in, straight from the box, on any smooth surface. My feet just went sliding all over, because there is zero traction on the soles. No ridges, no anything, just slick, smooth plastic. Not too keen on messing around with that nonsense.

Also, the straps are not attached on both sides like normal strappy shoes. For each strap, there is a metal snap closure on the outside of the shoe, so I'm thinking they could potentially come unsnapped quite easily under certain conditions. And who wants to be worrying about straps flapping all over the place?

They also smell horrendously chemical & plastic - I mean like overpoweringly yuck. I'm sure that goes away, but still, I'm not used to such a strong chemical odor from shoes.

So, while they are totally killer adorable, I returned them. Not even going to bother getting the correct size, because I really disliked the way the straps work & I don't want to break my neck with that slippery sole.
