This is a classic style that Manolo must be doing for 25 years plus..

Comfortable & easy to wear

I have put baby powder in my shoes & also have heard of gals putting a
small amout of hair spray on the bottom of their feet to help not slide.
Try a few things to see what works for you...
 
Hello! I'm sure it's been discussed here, but there's so many pages I can't find! How do patent leather Manolo BBs fit? I just got a great deal on a pair in my "safe" size 36.5, but my feet are weird and can go from a 5.5 (rarely) to a 7. I have two other old pairs of Manolos, the "urban shoe myth" maryjanes in a 36, and the Dodo in a 36.5, and the 36.5 definitely fits better, since the 36 feel tight after a while.

I also tried on the store sample of the BB at Nordstrom before in a 36 or 36.5 and they felt huge!! It could be that they were stretched out from other people trying them on, but now I'm confused!

I am waiting to get a pair of patent leather in the mail so I will let you know. All the ones I've ever tried on have been suede and I've always been 36.5. Maybe because they are hand made in Italy sizing won't be consistent. I always measure the insole of a shoe that I have that fits great and has a similar shape and then compare it to a shoe I'm about to buy to make sure on fit. I don't know if that's helpful, but I feel like I'm always between a 6 and 7 in any shoes

So I got my shoes and they are actually nappa leather, but I will say that they are tighter than the suede manolos. But, I wouldn't go up a size because they would be too loose. I wouldn't say sizing is consistent. I would try to get new ones sent to you that haven't been touched by others if you can. Maybe they are stretched out...
