Petrea from our Amsterdam store says:
The Grand Nationals have an average width but are short in the toe. Go up a half or a full size. If you feel like you're sliding forward and hitting the end, use an insole or a halter pad to keep your foot in place.

I had these in the 90’s. These aren’t shoes, they are art.

Beautiful and yes runs small
Love mine in pink metallic! The colour is even prettier in person. I also have the boots in black, so knew to size up from my usual 6 to a 7. The heel is so high it also helps to put an insert in the toe area to push the foot back where it sits best without squished toes. Also, I found putting a blister pad where the top of the shoe fits was a must until broken in, even though the leather is quite soft. Love love love LOVE!

Stunning but small!
I am a street size 8.5 to 9 with a slightly wide foot, and had to return my lime size 10's for an 11 in these. They are a challenge to get on, and I'll be looking to get a shoe horn to see if it would help but once on they are easier to walk in than they appear, are comfortable and will have you standing out in pretty much any crowd!

I Love These Shoes!
The Grand National were my dream boots when I was younger, and I couldn't even explain my excitement when they came back! As much as I love the boots, I decided on the shoe version. They are beautiful. I wear a 9.5 in the Malibrans, so I ordered a 10. They were a bit tight, but I've been wearing them around the house to get used to them, and they are pretty perfect now. Thank you for bringing these back!

Tried half a size up no luck - considering going up 1.5
I tired the black leather a size up from my usual 6.5. They were VERY short. I’m pondering if I want to try the 8. I have narrow feet and long toes so maybe these just aren’t meant to be for me. They’re actually quite comfy to walk in even with your toe hitting.

Prettiest Pony
I have never slammed buy on a pair of shoes so fast. They run super small, I’m currently wearing a full size up from my normal size shoe and wishing for a little bit more room in the toe.
But, they’re gorgeous and absolutely worth the years I’ve spent looking for a pair.

Ride, Baby, Ride!
These have been on my unicorn list forever. When the Fall catalog came out with these (and the boots!) featured on the pages, I squealed out loud.
These are sexy AF. They do run a little bit small. Since they're only available in whole sizes I sized up a complete size. I normally take an 8 or 8.5; but got the 9 in these. It's a tad big but a insert and some tightened laces have taken care of that. Also, I have wide feet and these accommodate them beautifully.
They'll take a bit of getting used to for walking but if you can walk in high heels, you will be able to walk in these.
