Super tight on the instep: a shoe horn is your best friend. Insole is removable for more space if needed.

Beauties with one issue.
I just got these gorgeous pairs based on the timeless punk/rockabilly style, the creeper. They seemsreally well-made and the leather is a quality finish. There is only one issue i am trying to get around. The toe box. It was a little difficult trying to squeeze my feet into these but i think with time the leather should soften up to where (hopefully) this won't be an issue. The actual issue is how narrow the toe box is. FYI to those with wide toe boxes. It seems even more narrow than a regular D size. I am between a E and doble EE. Unfortunately, they were out of my size at the local store in SF so i was not able to try them on before buying but this sale was hard to pass. I really don't want to return them. The work around i am thinking of is getting a shoe stretcher (they are affordable through Amazon). I am hoping that perhaps using a shoe stretcher may widen them to at least an extra size. The alternative would be to return them and get a refund though again, its not something I want to do. If anyone else has the same issue, please chime in.

Got the suede ones and they are as beautiful out of the box as they are online. I wear 9.5 to 10 and ordered a 10 in these. Glad I did bc the toe box is quite narrow - I'm sure the suede will have some give over time. My heels do slip a bit but not enough to bother me, and they don't rub on my heel. Notes: They are really heavy shoes. I guess bc Creepers are usually so light, this was a surprise. Again, not a bother for me but for some folks they might not be the best 24/7 shoes. Lastly, I've seen comments about the smell and yes there is definitly a smell - to me though it seems vaguley like marzipan (I like it). I'm assuming it's from a protective spray for the suede. So, if you're sensitive to smells - maybe open outdoors. I've been stalking these shoes for months and finally jumped in last week...only to see that they are now an additional 15% off sale price...womp womp. If you've been on the fence - now is the time to go for it.

Throwback Bliss
These shoes are a wonder to wear IF you can get the sizing right. I love this rendition of a creeper platform style that I first saw a rendition of these with when this style came out back in the 90’s. Ana Sui and JF, have changed it up just a tad to give it a sole that when you wear them, you feel like you are walking on a cloud! I am a a true size 38 (7.5ish) Since these only come in whole sizes, the suede ones worked the best as they are easier to slip on and stretched out perfectly after a week. So for those of you in the half sizes, I recommended sizing down a half size but only in the suede as the harder leather may not work. For the harder leather style, leave those for the whole size peeps. Also if possible stick to your size. If you size up they will be big. I normally wear a 7.5 to 8 and the 8’s (more 8 than 7.5) and have a slightly wider foot. The 8’s were too large for me in this style so I went with the 7 in suedes. For those of you who can fit this shoe, you will not be disappointed. They are awesome!

huge & extremely comfy
i don’t know what’s up with the fit guide on these or the over reviews—i ordered the suede ones (from the anna sui website, where they’re currently more expensive, ugh!) and they’re huge on me! i have wide feet with a high instep and i wear the buckles on the tightest setting, and can still fit two fingers between my heel and the shoes. ended up exchanging them for a size down because my heels pop out when i walk. that said, the platform is extremely comfortable—i’d love to buy more shoes with this base! almost a spring-like feeling to walking.
i normally wear a size 10 womens, sometimes a 10.5-11 in narrower fluevogs. i have the 10s in these but ordered a 9 to compare and see if i should go with that size.

Love my new vogs
Bought the suede Anna sui collab. The suede version feels all around softer and less stiff than the leather version. These are a joy to wear, like walking on air. I would agree, you definitely need a shoe horn to get these on. My feet are a bit on the wide side and they are a little tight but I think they will stretch and mold to my feet over time. Typically an 8.5, got a 9 women’s in these and they are the perfect size. Quality is great, I think these will last a long time.
