Mr York in Mauve patent leather is a great shoe. I worried about the sizing but am pleased with my 39. Here is my data: US size 8 in most shoes, EU size 39. My foot is a slightly wide and high arch foot but I like room in the toe box. In boots I will sometimes go to a size US9 on rare occasion because of wanting the extra wiggle room particularly at evening events if worn. On a boot, the nature of it's design allow for a bit larger fit that a shoe might not. This York 39 was a great fit. Note, the buckles for design actually are function too, allowing one to tighten or loosen the arch fit and width to some degree. Nice feature not to just be decorative. FABULOUS LOOK. A real statement shoe to be worn with everything including shorts, skirts, jeans. Note that Patent Leather does take a bit of break in time over a standard hide leather but you can assist this by hand bending the shoe some in the ball of the foot where you foot has a natural break. The 39 is a touch large on me and I like this because it allows me to wear a hidden sock and not to get any blister rubbings. One can also always use a strip of Mole Skin (found at pharmacy) inserted in the shoe inside heal or any spot desired to take up a bit of room or soften the rub if needed. One can also put mole skin directly on the foot, but I find putting it inside the shoe in a semi permanent manner to be most effective in consistent comfort on any shoe. It's a gem to use. This shoe is made extremely well, like a lot of…
