I'd been eyeing the Mr. Colin's in cognac for well over a year and was over the moon once they went on sale. I was a bit disappointed to find they had sent the wrong color (walnut) but customer service was really fantastic and sent a replacement in cognac. I am normally a true size 6 in all shoes, and despite the recommendation to size up a half-size, I would actually size a bit down if you have a skinny heel or petite foot like me. While my foot width runs true to average and not narrow, the rest of my foot is slender and a bit bony, and the 36s were much too large. If you have that composition, or your heels tend to slip out of things, I would recommend ordering your true size or a half size down. While the toe box was snug in the 35.5, it loosened up after a few wears and now the whole shoe fits perfectly.

Also, just a couple of notes about the shoe, the construction is unparalleled and the finish divine. I SO appreciated the gentlemen's notch on the inside corners of the heels to ensure they don't catch on your pants. I really felt like this company took all the wonderful things about men's dress shoes and finally gave us the quality we deserve in a female-formed monkstrap.

They fit beautifully. I’m a fan of a beautifully made shoe. They do run on the narrow side. They need some break in time. I love them...my style.

Just a beautiful shoe, made with so much quality. I cannot say enough about them. I get compliments every time I wear them. All of the reviews are correct, I usually wear a size 37EUR, but had to get the 37.5. The last on the Mr. Colin's runs narrow, so if you have a wide foot, I recommend you get the 37.5, and have your local cobbler stretch them for you. Please get shoe trees! to keep your shoe looking as good as new! Remember to polish and shine them often, and they will last a lifetime. The Goodyear Welt on these shoes do allow for resole, so you can feel confident that you can recycle and reuse. OoAS is an excellent Woman owned, USA based Small Business, that I love supporting. You won't regret getting these shoes and if you have any questions their customer service is top notch. I say take the plunge ;0)

Love. These. Shoes!

They definitely take some breaking in just to soften up. But they are some of the best shoes I’ve ever worn as far as quality and beauty and comfort. I get compliments and questions as to what brand every time I wear them. I have a fairly narrow heel and and these fit me in my “true” size. I’ve been choosing outfits around them so I can wear them as much as possible!

I love these shoes, gorgeous color, excellent fit, extraordinarily comfortable and stylish. Runs true to size.
