They run true to size for me, I'm an 8.5B. Although some people find Ferragmo shoes a little narrow.
I love the colors for fall! Not sure which one I'll get. I sort of want them all but my black patent ones already look pretty worn. Hmmm.....
Amazing colors. Want!!!!
Ahh, I got so lucky a month ago with my first pair!! 
I was in Saks with my mom, and she bought a pair of Prada flats (not on sale). I think there was some sort of 25% off sale. Anyway, I'd been checking out the Varina flats for quite some time (love the plum patent) and asked the SA to see if he had a pair in my size - 7.5. He said he didn't but he found a pair in coral (my favorite color!!!) in my size and on sale. 
They came out to something like $125 haha. 
Considering the fact that this was well before the Fire sale insanity, etc. I was stunned!

I've got them in Blood Patent. I put a little scrape in the back of the right heel but it's hardly noticeable. I was running up to my friends and going "OH MY GOD CAN YOU SEE THIS!?" and none of them noticed. I've had them since august and worn them a lot - they seem to be wearing just fine. I haven't had to get them resoled yet. The sole wears well.
Oooh blood patent
Ah, but I must be practical and go for black. I adore the colours, but I don't have a lot of money at the moment and practicality must win out.
Thanks!
I have them in the coral patent which I got for an insane sale price from Saks a while back... they aren't my most comfortable flats, because the patent is stiff with no give, but they're so beautiful I almost don't mind. I haven't worn them enough to resole them, but they seem sturdy. I hope to get a few more, but consider the fact that I paid like $125 for mine, full price probably won't be happening haha!

If u dun mind used pairs.. i always see them on *bay...
I got my black ones in Italy 6 years ago and they were only 180 euros then.... I'm still wearing them and they're still going strong!!
Any tips on reviving the bow - I have a pair in nude which are gorgeous but the bow is beginning look a little smudged?
I absolutely adore these flats I was eyeing to get these or the classic chanel flats and decided on these instead. I bought them in patent black. If they were'nt so expensive...i'd like to own every single color!!!
I've only worn mine a few times so I havn't got them resoled yet. I find them extremely comfortable, prob one of my most comfortable pair of flats.
